Glenquel Emerson

Glenquel Emerson was killed by crossfire on October 4, 2016.  Glenquel was a successful graduate of The NET Charter High School and an employee of Little Beautiful Minds Nursery.

Glenquel's passing reminds us that we must continue to work harder to make sure our city is safe for every member of our community.  Too many our city's citizens are working hard and making good choices but are still hurt or killed by gun violence.
