A mass shooting at Taste of the City lounge in Crown Heights resulted in three deaths and 11 injuries. Advocates and officials gathered to mourn the victims and emphasize the need for resilience against gun violence. The incident was reportedly gang-related, with two identified shooters, while the third victim, Amadou Diallo, was uninvolved. Elite Learners volunteers have actively worked to reduce community violence, with significant crime reduction noted. Despite their efforts, concerns remain about ongoing violence and community safety.
We gather here today not by choice and not because the work of the New York City Crisis Management System is not being done. We gather here today by force.
I pray for the three who we've lost, and I pray for the recovery of the 14. And I pray that this incident will not define this community.
