City leaders, members of the NYPD and survivors of gun violence attended a Youth Gun Violence Prevention Summit at the LA Central YMCA today in the South Bronx.

The event was organized by Yanely Henriquez, mother of Angellyh Yambo – a teenager caught in the crossfire of a shooting on April 8, 2022 while walking home from school. She was 16 years old.

After the summit, the children played basketball while building community relationships.
