'If there isn't some type of change here in the Seattle area after one of its own, who was a community man, leader, business owner, married, coach, father,' Gee said. 'He wasn't in the streets. He wasn't about that life. And gun violence came to him,'
“The profound impact he had on the Central District and Seattle will not be forgotten. I am praying for his wife KeAnna, his children, and everyone in the community who had the privilege of knowing him,” Harrell said in his statement. “We know gun violence affects our communities every day in different forms and disproportionately impacts communities of color and young Black men. We cannot allow a senseless tragedy like this to be the norm in our city.
“Right now, we are looking to police to solve the gun violence problems in our communities,” Gee said. “Something happens, where are the police? Every story in the news about the increase in violence mentions the need for more police. Police cannot be the cure for gun violence. Police are the response when someone is hurt, but no matter how fast a police response is, that does not deter someone from committing that crime.
The death of Pickett is a tragedy, but it highlights that gun violence can affect anyone, specifically the Black community, according to Gee.
