The family of 45-year-old Brian Jackson is searching for answers nearly one week after he was killed. Jackson's family grieves during a time when gun violence in the city is a prominent discussion.
“Gun violence right now is horrible, and it needs to stop,” Sherry Hunt, Jackson's sister-in-law, said.
“I don’t want anybody to feel what I’m feeling right now. I don’t want anyone to feel pain like this," Jacob Roberson, Jackson's brother, said."That’s my brother. We were so close. We did everything together." “We know the only way to reduce gun violence is to work together to identify the sources of the guns that are fueling this violence,” U.S District Attorney Zachary Myers said.
“Our friends, our neighbors, our children are being shot down. This violence impacts all of us. The common denominator for almost all of these shootings is firearms in the hands of people who have no businesses having them,” Myers said. Though police still haven’t made an arrest in Jackson's case, and the recent charges weren’t connected to his death, his family says it gives them hope that a solution to gun violence is out there.
