Community members said enough is enough. They said they will continue walking and fighting for their city and neighborhood with the hope that, one day, the violence will end.

"They need to know that what they do today will affect them through eternity," one participant said. "When they make choices today, it may look easy to get out here and shoot somebody, but you are signing your life away not only in the world but through eternity."

On Friday alone, three people were shot in separate incidents. One of those victims died.
