It's an advocacy group created to help end youth gun violence in the city.
And 2022, Lexington had 44 gun related homicides.
That was a record.
One Lexington report's in 2023, the number dropped by 46%.
The city also had a 35% decrease in shooting victims among 13 to 29 year olds.
The group's director said the numbers are encouraging and it will take an effort by everyone in the community to keep the momentum going.
We cannot save the streets without the streets.
And what I mean by that is we need those individuals with that lived experience.
We need individuals who are living in these communities that are being impacted by gun violence each and every night.
We need you to be a part of this fight with us.
Devine Karama said among one Lexington's goals for 2024.
Continuing the work of addressing the root causes of gun violence and finding an effective way to reach youth before they're affected by it.
