"“He was a legend. My uncle was a people's person, he loved this block right here, he fought for this block where he died on. You know he stood for this block right here. A legend,” Baldwin said. Others gathered at the scene to pay their respects, including people who did not know Dixon personally but came because of his impact on loved ones."
