"Again, these were perpetrated by, again, three 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old,” Garcia said. “With that type of violence, really, can't put my finger on what's occurring."
Mankarious says several factors contribute to the increase including anxiety, depression, and youth feeling they are in a crisis mode."We notice teens are spending more time on their devices,” Mankarious said. “They are consuming a lot of hateful content, a lot of violent content. They feel a bit disconnected from family and community and they are acting out more aggressively."and police agree it will take law enforcement and the community working together to find solutions.
"Together we are going to work this out,” Urban Specialist CEO Antong Lucky said. “We are going to work hand in hand and support each other. Because our mission is how do we stop violence in our city." "It's something we'll continue to work with city and providers and advocates and our community really to get the message out," Garcia said.
