Jennifer Nelson died on February 23, 2017, from a fatal gunshot wound.
The shooting occurred outside Kelly's Place bar. Police said someone fired around 40 shots from the street into the parking lot where Nelson and another woman were both hit. The other woman was critically injured in the incident.
Nearly a year after her death, her grandson Ta'shawn Gallon was shot and killed in a firefight in Durkeeville Sunday, February 18. His death marks the fourth shooting in two weeks involving a child.
Mayor Lenny Curry and Sheriff Mike Williams met on Monday to discuss the rash of violence and particularly the death of Ta'Shawn.
"I can promise you we are going to move heaven and earth and kick in a few doors until we bring that person to justice," said Williams.
