SAN DIEGO —
In response to a spike in gun violence in San Diego, a group of community members on Thursday called on gang members to stop shootings.
“We’re telling gang members to knock it off, because we’re sick of it,” said Michael Singletary.
Singletary was one of several former gang members who joined the Community Assistance Support Team, better known as CAST, at the San Diego County Administration Center to launch Seasons of Peace, a months-long campaign during which they plan to host events to call out the violence.
Plans that are in the works include a lowrider “cruise,” memorials for victims of gunfire and tree-planting events.
