“I
offer my most heartfelt condolences to Victor Maldonado’s family as
they deal with the news of losing their son to gun violence. Victor, a
young man who just enlisted to serve our country in the United States
Navy, was killed while trying to do the right thing and break-up a
fight.
“Ending
gun violence has been a top priority of mine since I took office.
Unfortunately, too many firearms end up in the wrong hands both through
legal and illegal means, despite our good work. I once again urge that
we come together as one and unite to put an end to these senseless acts
of violence, so we can better prevent these crimes and protect innocent
people across our city and nation,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben
Diaz Jr.
Borough
President Diaz’s office will once again host its “Peace in our Streets”
initiative on Saturday, October 6, at the Mill Brook Houses on St.
Ann’s Avenue. More information is available in the attached flyers.
Illegal guns can also be reported to the police by calling 866-GUN-STOP.
