A rally to end gun violence was held on Wednesday outside the home where 10-year-old Justin Wallace was fatally shot on Saturday night.

More than 100 people attended the event, which was organized by Rock Safe Streets, a non-violence initiative based in the Rockaways.

“We’re here today to honor the life that was lost,” said Amy Wilkinson, who is the vice president of Youth Services at Sheltering Arms.

Rock Safe Streets was started by Sheltering Arms with the hopes of mediating disagreements before they escalate to violence.

Those behind the initiative said they held the event in an effort to educate those unfamiliar with the neighborhood, that they live with gun violence on a daily basis.

“I don’t think it’s resonated with everyone standing here today. We’re talking about from May 1, 2021 to June 5, 2021…which is 36 days…six people shot,” said Rosalyn Mason, the director of Rock Safe Streets.

Organizers said that they believe everyone in attendance has the ability to be part of the solution.

“We don't just show up when it's a high profile situation. Everyday my team is here canvassing these streets, trying to figure out who has problems with who,” said Wilkinson.

Amongst those in the crowd were family members of other gun violence victims.

NY1 spoke with 35-year-old Edwin Lopez who said his nephew, Alexander Wilkerson, was shot to death in the same area in May of last year.

Lopez said that he hopes that with the Rockaways currently in the spotlight, that hopefully he can get answers on his nephew’s case and that his community will get the resources it needs.

“We need people that are going to help us open community centers for these kids, have outreach programs for these kids, computer tech for these kids. Something,” Lopez said.

At the event, one of the speakers announced that Wallace will be laid to rest on Monday.
