FLINT, MI The Flint community is calling for an end to violence in the city after the holiday weekend left multiple people dead.
Four people were killed in Flint over the weekend, including a baby and grandmother who were killed in their sleep during a drive-by shooting.
Belinda Hart, 45, and her 10-month-old grandson Romelo Jones, Jr. were shot while sleeping in their home Saturday, Dec. 26. On the same day, 23-year-old Curdetruis Keaton-Williams was shot and killed outside of a residence and 25-year-old Naomi Anthony was found dead in a field.
An infant and three adults were killed in three separate shootings across the city this weekend. I would describe this as sickening. The whole community is sick and tired of it, Flint Police Chief Terence Green said.
Gun fire rang out the day after Christmas on Flint s northside, leaving a trail of lives lost. This weekend was especially violent because it was four, four deaths. One with a 10-month-old and the grandmother. Itâs surreal, Green said. If a 10-month old being murdered the day after Christmas while he lay asleep, if that doesn t motivate you to help police bring those responsible to justice, I don t know what this world is coming to.
