      Peace Vigil
      May 3, 2009 . 3-4PM . 3400 Logan Ave. N.

      It is with great sadness, but also unwavering resolve to see peace 
dominate our streets, that we invite you to take part in a PEACE vigil held by 
the PEACE Foundation, MADDADS, neighbors and the family and friends of Kyle 
Parker. Parker, a 19-year old, was gunned down in a drive-by shooting while 
walking near his home in North Minneapolis on Tuesday of this week. Kyle's 
murder was the cities' fourth this year.


      Kyle Parker and his mother Janice
      Jim Gehrz, Parker Family PhotoKyle was said to be a funny, vibrant young 
man who adored his 9-month-old baby and girlfriend. He was a student at 
Minneapolis Community Technical College and had dreams of becoming a rapper and 
businessman. 

      Tragically Kyle's death by gun violence was not the first his family has 
had to endure. His mother's mentally challenged brother was also gunned down in 
front of their home in 1995. It seems that his uncle's mistake was that he 
didn't know he would be killed by members of a gang because of the colors of a 
borrowed shirt he was wearing.


      The PEACE Vigil will be held from 3-4PM at the place where Kyle was 
gunned down, the 3400 block of Logan Ave. N. Please come and stand side by side 
with those living, hoping and working for peace. Together our vision will be 
realized!

across divides to end local violence.
