ORLANDO, Fla. – It's going to take a community to stop the horrific shootings.
That's the message from Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill.
Hill was among city and faith-based leaders Wednesday asking for an end to violence in the Parramore neighborhood.
This comes after the shooting along Westmoreland Drive that left one man dead and two others injured Tuesday night.
"It will take all of us to stop the violence and ensuring a promised future for our youth," said Hill.
Hill and local leaders stood among the media Tuesday afternoon at the John H. Jackson Community Center asking the community for help and unity.
Leaders said it starts with the area youth.
Hill said the city, county and area leaders are working to implement a pilot program that will target non-violent offenders in the 16-25 age bracket.
The goal is to start with a four to five-block radius in Parramore and work to help people get back on their feet.
Hill said leaders will first work to get data to show which areas need the most attention and work from there.
Hill said she wants to take a holistic approach to helping people.
Offering options that consist of GED courses, sustainable jobs and mental health help.
She said she wants to target everyone in a household to build a stronger foundation.
