BALTIMORE, MD – Krystal Gonzalez, the mother of Aaliyah Gonzalez, a victim of the Brooklyn Day mass shooting, is calling for change and justice. Speaking with Fox45’s Vincent Hill, Gonzalez recounted the tragic day when her daughter was killed and expressed her desire to see meaningful action taken in the aftermath of the shooting.
Reflecting on the night of the incident, Gonzalez vividly described the harrowing experience of discovering her daughter’s body at the scene. Despite the arrest of several juveniles and two 18-year-olds in connection with the shooting, no one has been charged with the murder of Aaliyah Gonzalez, leaving her family grappling with a lack of closure.
Gonzalez criticized what she perceives as a mismanagement of resources, pointing out that some of the offenders involved in the shooting were wearing ankle monitors at the time of the incident. She emphasized the need for changes in the handling of juvenile violence and stressed the importance of implementing gun violence prevention education in schools.
As the next legislative session approaches, Gonzalez is advocating for proactive measures to address juvenile violence, highlighting the potential impact of education on reducing gun violence in communities. With the absence of legal requirements for gun violence prevention education in schools, Gonzalez underscored the urgency of addressing this issue and working towards meaningful reform to protect young people from the devastating effects of gun violence.
In the wake of the Brooklyn Day mass shooting, Krystal Gonzalez continues to advocate for justice for her daughter, highlighting the need for policy changes to address juvenile violence and gun violence prevention. With the ongoing pursuit of justice for Aaliyah Gonzalez, the impact of the shooting reverberates in the community as efforts to address these issues gain momentum.
