JUSTICE FOR MARCUS B. VANCLEAF !! Shut down illegal after hours club & put up memorial park in me...
Marcus Vancleaf was the most recent victim among many who have died at the after hours club located in a boarded up house on the east side of Columbus. The owners have had many chances to clean up and legitimize that property and have not. We do not want Marcus' death to be in vain! We want to acquire the property and build a memorial park that will benefit the community that Marcus loved and believed in so much!
Why is this important?
Justice For Marcus B. Van Cleaf
This Petition is to draw community awareness and concern after the recent Murder of Marcus B. Van Cleaf, a 32 year old Great Grand Son, Grandson, Son, Father, Brother, Nephew, Cousin, Uncle and Friend who was murdered Saturday, June 21, 2014. This petition will be used to bring awareness of an Illegal After Hours Club operating in a residential area on the Near East Side of Columbus, OH. This After Hours Club, located at 1323 East Fulton Avenue, Columbus, OH 43205 is located on the Northeast corner of Kimball and Fulton and has been in existence over the past 30 years as an after-hours night club responsible for 5 murders since the late 70s, various drug activity, fights, shootings, prostitution, and illegal liquor sales. As a community, we would like for the City of Columbus to condemn and demolish said building and use (if available) allocated funds from the City’s budget to convert the land into a Memorial Park in Honor of those who have lost their lives at the hands of this establishment. By signing this petition you agree that enough is enough and how many more people have to die at the hands of this establishment.
