God have mercy. A citizen, a youth leader, a good man gunned down, who desired to volunteer to coach and inspire others to lead. The quality of life issue for each citizen of Fort Lauderdale has been damaged by such senseless murderous act. I pray for a time when families, children and citizens are safely able to walk down streets, attend youthful activities in our parks without fear of becoming a victim of senseless gun violence. God have mercy.
