After two shootings in the city of Pittsburgh that left two dead, Mayor Ed Gainey issued a statement to the community about the recent violence in the city.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of Dayvon Vickers, Devonte White, and the entire community today. We are in the process of being able to connect the families with counseling and supportive services they will need to help them through this tragedy,” he said.
According to Pittsburgh Police, Vickers, 15, was riding his bicycle when he was shot in the Homewood neighborhood.
White was shot and killed in the city of Brookline on Tuesday evening.
“If we are going to find peace in our communities we must find justice. All of us as a city must continue to come together as one community to solve these murders and find justice for these families,” Gainey continued.
At one point this week, there were three shootings within a four-hour time period in the Pittsburgh area.
