A father who lost his son to gun violence worries about people in some of the city\u2019s most at-risk communities. This comes as the city endures another spate of recent killings, including three deaths within a 24-hour period.<\/p>\n

Kenny Barber, president of the Griffin Heights Neighborhood Association, was part of a press conference on gun violence Monday, hosted by the Frenchtown Southside Political Action Coalition.<\/p>\n

Barber noted the city is spending $5 million to curb the violence, but he\u2019s doubtful that will do the job.<\/p>\n

He points out that a portion of the money will be put into the Community Human Services Partnership, a funding process that allows local organizations and nonprofits to compete for funding from the city and Leon County.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough that process, if they would just think a little out the box, open their minds and be willing to invest in some programs that aren\u2019t established, aren\u2019t run by the United Ways or the Boys and Girls Clubs — all of those folks who — the nonprofits that I call nonprofit machines — then they probably would get some decent programs,\u201d Barber said.<\/p>\n

There have been more than 40 shootings in Leon County so far this year. More than a dozen people have been killed. <\/p>\n
