His memory must be honored by prioritizing the stability and well-being of the family he left behind.
A Community’s Cry: The Violence Must End

It is a shared recognition that the violence devastating their streets must end before another life is stolen and another family is shattered. The passing of Allen Plummer Sr. must serve as a painful, necessary catalyst for a community-wide stand against the reckless disregard for human life that tragically claimed one of their own.
