In 2019 the City of New Haven closed out the year with twelve (12) homicides and seventy eight (78) shooting assaults. Of those shooting assaults five (5) were of victims under the age of eighteen, with two of those victims having been eight and nine years of age. Yes, the city saw an uptick in violent crime that we all need to be a part in addressing. This clearly shows that all of us, not just law enforcement, politicians, and those that serve second chance populations need to strive harder to decrease these numbers. To implement a decrease means that all of us, citizens, activists, service providers, and everyday folk need to work harder collectively to bring about this change. Let's put aside egos, personalities, and differences to make our streets safer for the young, the old, and those in jeopardy of being victims and perpetrators of gun violence. Contact Stacy R. Spell
