Cookout Amid Gun Violence Tragedy | Dayton News

A deadly shooting just before a major peace celebration in Dayton forces organizers to reset their progress—but the community cookout still goes on, rain or shine. After 180 days without a gun death and nearly 90 without any gun incidents in North Riverdale, organizers from Felons With A Future and Cure Violence Global are determined to keep pushing forward. Despite the setback, the event moves ahead—now from 2 PM to 7 PM at 1936 N Main St—with food, drinks, and a powerful message: resilience in the face of violence. Greg West vows to honor the victims while continuing the fight for safety, reminding everyone that community action matters—even when the road gets rough.
