Organizers postpone prayer walk

Posted

Organizers have postponed a prayer walk planned Thursday night in response to a deadly shooting a day earlier.

“Because of the situation as the courthouse, we decided to postpone until things settle a bit,” the First Responders Homicide Prayer Walk group said in a statement around 4:15 p.m. on Thursday.

The decision was made a little more than an hour before the walk was schedule to begin.

The event was planned in response to the Wednesday morning shooting near 16th Street and Victor Avenue that left Jarell Haynes, 22, dead.
