Two dozen photos of young men and women who were fatally shot adorn the walls of a storefront on Sutphin Boulevard in Queens.

"When you walk in, you just see our angels," said Carolyn Dixon. "I have some more pictures to put up, but the person who was printing them got so emotional she couldn’t do it anymore."

Behind every one is a devastated family.

What You Need To Know

  • Carolyn Dixon, whose son was killed in 2014, started the group, Where Do We Go From Here?, to help mothers whose children were fatally shot

  • The women meet at a storefront on Sutphin Boulevard, where they also help community with food drives, COVID supply giveaways, and organizing politically against gun violence

  • There were 591 people shot this year through May 29 – fewer people from the same period last year but still nearly 68% higher from the same period in 2020

"I remember when they told me my son was deceased," Dixon said. "I remember asking my mother, ‘Where do we go from here?’ And she said, ‘You live.’”

That’s how Dixon named the organization she founded, Where Do We Go From Here?

Her 24-year-old son, Darrell Lynch, was fatally shot in a parking dispute in 2014.

Now she helps families whose loved ones were murdered by someone with a gun.

“This is where the mothers can come to release without any type of form of interruption or worries," Dixon said. "It’s a safe place so this is why I call this the healing room."

Robyn Williams described her son Robert as "one of the most humble and respectful young men that I know.”

“But unfortunately, his life was taken away from us due to senseless gun violence.”

Williams joined the group after her son, Robert Williams, was killed Jan. 1, 2021 – one day shy of his 21st birthday.

"We’ve formed a sisterhood that can’t be broken unfortunately it is due to gun violence and people taking our children’s life," Williams said.

There were 591 people shot this year through May 29 – fewer people from the same period last year but still nearly 68% higher from the same period in 2020.

"Even now, to the kids, find something for them to do so they don’t have to be on the street doing what they're doing, finding guns, gangs," said Sheena Tucker, whose son Keith was killed in 2011.

The women in this support group also give back to their community by handing out food, COVID-19 supplies and organizing for gun control laws

"We are advocates for gun violence prevention laws. We want Congress - that means both the Senate [and the House], especially the Senate - to do something about gun violence." said Marie Delus, whose nephew was killed in 2008 and a member of Moms Demand Action. "We need to stop the guns from coming into New York from states that have weak gun laws."
