NEW ORLEANS — NEW ORLEANS -- Hundreds of people marched through the streets of New Orleans East on Saturday morning, but they had one message.
“Put the guns down! Let them live!” they chanted.
The community of parents who have lost children to violence grows each year.
“We are losing our babies at a rapid pace,” said Kenisha Martin Nelson, whose 16-year-old daughter, Kaylan Ward, was found on Interstate 10 near Bullard Avenue six years ago.
