The tragic passing of 22 year old, Hustle gang member Doe B due to fatal gunshot wounds, at a venue has sparked awareness through out the state of Alabama as the mayor of Montgomery, releases a statement on the senseless and devastating incident. Hit the jump for the statement.
“We do not take this action lightly, but believe this decision is compelled by clear evidence that continued operation of this establishment poses an imminent threat to the public’s safety,” he wrote. “Just this morning a 21-year-old young woman and a 22-year-old young man were shot and killed there, and six other young adults were shot and wounded. The shootings occurred despite the presence of the club’s security and repeated cautions from the City.”

“The Montgomery Police Department’s investigation into this senseless shooting is proceeding, and we have every confidence that the individual or individuals responsible will be identified and apprehended,” he said. “We are working to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
