Families of gun violence victims in New Haven come together with local police in a poignant motorcade aimed at raising awareness about gun violence. Despite a reported decrease in violent crimes, New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson emphasizes a continued commitment to reduce gun-related fatalities, declaring, “We’re not going to be good until we can say that there’s no homicides and no people shot.”
Among those participating is Laquvia Jones, who honors her two sons lost to gun violence, and Helen Porto-Bember, who mourns her stepson Aaron Robinson, killed earlier this year. As the motorcade weaves through the city, adorned with photos and balloons, families hope to motivate individuals with information about ongoing cases and push for an end to the persistent plight of gun violence that haunts their community.
