Neighbors in Oakland's Eastmont Hills refuse to let gun violence be normalized in their community.
Neighbors in Oakland 's Eastmont Hills refuse to let gun violence be normalized in their community.They're angry, upset, and once again demanding city leaders for solutions after police said a shooting last week killed one man and injured two people at the corner of Ney Avenue and Ritchie Street.They sent their list of demands to city leaders as Mayor Sheng Thao and her team of department heads held the last of a series of town hall meetings on Friday to address crime and homelessness.
In the long term, they want more violence prevention programs and investments in job training programs for young people. 'Having the mobile command unit, a little more police presence in the area does help on the short term. But really start to exam the long-term solutions and get those implemented as soon as possible because the community has been waiting for many years on those,' said neighbor Alex Minas.
