"There's a crisis with Black and brown young people - and they're just having access to guns and unfortunately nobody's speaking about the crisis. Who else do we need to lose before we realize this is a crisis?"
"I hope that we make the investments we need to make so that men know how to solve their personal beefs with each other without resorting to senseless gun violence."
"These men are shooting in broad daylight with many, many children in the forefront or the background of these shootings. We have to prevent this."
The recent shootings of a 78-year-old man and a 7-month-old baby highlight a severe crisis of gun violence among Black and brown youth. Darryl Spence, the son of the slain man, emphasizes the urgent need for awareness and action.

Brooklyn's District Attorney is responding by expanding restorative justice programs aimed at preventing youth from turning to violence and addressing underlying issues.
