We moved to Colorado to get away from gun violence : godsister of Colorado Springs homicide victim

Nine years ago, Ebonyneke Futrell left a small city in southwest Oklahoma and headed west toward Colorado’s mountains in search of a safer place to raise her three young children. Futrell was 23 years old when her older brother, Emmett, was shot and killed in front of an apartment complex in their hometown of Lawton, Okla., said her godsister, Amberly Taylor. The year her brother was killed, he was one of nine homicides in Lawton, which had a population then of 90,000. She decided to seek refuge in Colorado Springs, a city with more than five times Lawton s population, but with a much lower homicide rate.
