I am devastated and filled with frustration over the tragic and senseless loss of a young life in our community. A 24-year-old individual was tragically taken in a shooting incident on Perry Street. My heart goes out to their family, friends, and all those affected by this devastating tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.
