DECATUR â Decatur Police Chief Jim Getz issued a warning to those who continue to stonewall police efforts to bring an end to the âsenseless violenceâ that continues to plague the community.
âIt is time for those that have clout in these organizations to end the violence. If not, I promise you, we will do all we can to put you in prison for a long time,â Getz said in a statement issued Wednesday evening.
It was the second time in six months that Getz issued a plea for people to come forward with information and follows a fatal shooting Tuesday in Decatur which he said was linked to a fatal shooting Saturday in Springfield.
Decatur Police Chief, Mayor Issue Statement on Gun Violence in the City
Over the past year gun violence in Decatur between two gangs has increased and has resulted in property damage, injuries, and death. Most recently a shooting in death in Springfield led to several retaliation shootings in Decatur which resulted in another loss of life here in Decatur on Tuesday Afternoon. Despite past and numerous calls from me and my Department for assistance from the community, we continue to deal with victims and witnesses that would rather retaliate than give information to get these bad players off the streets. There are influential people in this community that can help end this senseless violence, but instead choose not to get involved. I want to be clear these are not random shootings, as all the shootings had intended targets. With that you have unintended victims that will continue to be in harms way due to the selfishness and a lack of respect for life by these gangsters.
