In an emotional news conference on Monday, Killeen Councilmember Debbie Nash-King called for the end of gun violence in the city. âMy top priority today is to make Killeen a safer place for our residents, especially our senior citizens and our youth, and in order to accomplish this task we must continue to promote crime prevention,â Nash-King said at the steps of Killeen City Hall, following an opening prayer by Pastor Jimmy Towers of Lifeway Fellowship. Nash-King called the 5 p.m. press conference, which was also attended by several city officials and by community leaders, in response to Saturdayâs shooting death of Cadarian Connell Parker, 19, on Houston Street on Killeenâs north side, as well as the injuring of a 5-year-old child who was wounded in that same shooting.
