According to the New Pittsburgh Courier, "The average homicide victim in 2010 was a 33--year-old Black male with four prior arrests, most likely shot on the North Side, in the Hill District or the East End with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol in the early morning hours of a Saturday in July. The average shooter was a 29-year-old Black male with four prior arrests. The motive was likely retaliation. And according to the clearance-rate data, there is a 46 percent chance that he is still at large."
This is why we decided to dedicate our latest video to the problem of violence in our community.
