NEW YORK — The Inwood community is demanding answers and solutions to the recent surge in gun violence in New York City.

State Sen. Robert Jackson, whose district includes Inwood, Washington Heights and parts of the Upper West Side, co-hosted a walk to end gun violence on Sunday morning.

“This gun violence is crazy, out of control,” Jackson said.

Dozens marched through the neighborhood to highlight the changes needed to get guns off the streets. Jackie Rowe-Adams, who co-founded Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E., knows this pain all too well.

“I’m a mother who lost two sons to gun violence, and we have been raising this issue for many, many years,” Rowe-Adams said.

The walk started at The Amistad Dual Language School, where fallen Detective Jason Rivera went to elementary school.

“We lost two wonderful young men, police officers," Rowe-Adams said. "They are human, they are somebody’s child, somebody’s brother."

The NYPD reports gun violence increased by around 32% in January compared to the same time last year.

“I’m so glad we are out here today to cause change,” Rowe-Adams said. “It is so important we get these guns off the street. Every day someone is being shot and dying. Enough is enough.”

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg attended and shared the importance of community involvement on the issue.

“This community-based activism, and showing the community we won’t tolerate it and standing in solidarity side by side doing the day to day work, is the essential piece,” Bragg said. “We can prosecute cases on the back end, but we want to prevent them on the front end.”

Another stop on the march was Wheels High School, which Rivera also attended.

Marchers also stopped at the 34th Precinct to show support for the NYPD. The walk came just a day after the seventh shooting of an NYPD officer this year alone.
