West end community unites against gun violence

By Ali Rizvi & Social Worker Hundreds of Cincinnatians gathered in the West End community of Cincinnati on April 6 for a walk, town hall, and concert in honor of Dominic Davis, an 11-year-old shot and killed in the West End, and in support of several children and a parent who were also injured in the shooting. Organizers said, “We are walking in honor of all of those affected by the plague of gun violence. The event began with a walk through the West End and was followed by a town hall and community dialogue event, providing an opportunity for city leaders, community leaders, and residents to engage in open discussions about creating impactful change.
