Chicago recorded more murders than any other municipality last year. Chicago's total homicides this year is currently at 428 killed.
Why is this important?
The Halloween weekend alone brought the city’s violence level to 2,578 shot this year with 378 killed by gunfire. 20 year old Kaylyn Pryor and 9 year old Tyshawn Lee, were killed by gun violence this week. How many more innocent lives need to be taken? We can no longer allow the killing to continue. We need to come together to tackle this violence that is crippling our communities. Let's join together to continue raising the awareness, and try to put an end to Chicago's violence problem.
