The community is still trying to make sense of a deadly shooting in St. Pete at a “Guns Down, Gloves Up” boxing event this weekend. It follows a growing trend in gun violence in the city this year, as activists call on the community to help put an end to the problem.
St. Petersburg Mayoral Candidates Ken Welch and Robert Blackmon have joined local police and community advocates in calling for an end to violence in the city. This comes as the city hits the highest number of homicides in the last decade.
