Women wrapped gifts in pink and decorated the chairs in colorful covers while listening to heartfelt music about family to prepare for the Pre-Mothers Day Brunch, organized by Mending Hearts at the Police Athletic League of Wilmington to honor mothers who lost their children to gun violence.
“I was first overwhelmed by the beauty of the space. I felt warmth, love, and excellence,” said Chandra Pitts, CEO of One Village Alliance and a mom.
A young boy gave a flower to each mother as they entered the event.
Mothers who lost their children and mothers who didn’t were able to eat and watch various performances that took place to celebrate the power and love that mothers give and stand in solidarity against gun violence.

The family of a Black man shot to death in Wilmington by New Castle County police in January filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday, alleging civil rights violations, excessive force, and wrongful death.
Lymond Moses was killed after two county police officers opened fire on his vehicle shortly after 1 a.m. on Jan. 13 in the city’s Riverside neighborhood.
Police are investigating internally and Attorney General Kathy Jennings’ office is conducting an investigation into whether criminal charges should be brought against the officers.

Lakeisha Nix called it blood money. Blood money is all that keeps popping up in my head, filing a lawsuit for money that my brother’s blood is on. It hurts.
Nix is a plaintiff of a lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court by the family of Lymond Moses, the 30-year-old Bear man, Nix s brother, who was killed during an incident with county police in Wilmington s Riverside section in January.

About 100 people marched through the streets of Wilmington Sunday to protest police brutality and the police shooting of 30-year-old Lymond Moses.
Residents came out of their houses to watch, cheer and raise their fists in solidarity as the marchers passed by.
The march began at Kingswood Community Center in Riverside, a few blocks from where Moses was fatally shot by New Castle County police in January.
Amanda Spence, Moses’ wife, led the march alongside the rest of Moses’ family, including his mother and sisters.
“At the other side of a bullet is a family,” said Emeka Igwe, the attorney representing the family.

Amanda Spence saw the video.
She watched the final moments of Daunte Wright s young life unfold through the lens of a camera affixed to the chest of a law enforcement officer – the same way she s watched, over and over again, the last movements her husband, 30-year-old Lymond Moses, ever made. Everything makes me cringe inside, she said Wednesday during a small protest outside the New Castle County Police headquarters.
