About 75 people marched along 26th Street chanting in Spanish, “Justice for Melissa,” “Peace in Little Village,” and “A stop to violence” in response to the march leader’s, “What do we want?”
Those marching stopped at Melissa’s memorial on the corner of 26th and Pulaski where they met dozens of others for a balloon release to honor Melissa. Bringing residents out in solidarity shows those committing violence that the community won’t be scared to speak up, Enriquez told the Tribune after the memorial.
“All they know is violence, violence, violence, violence, so the only way they know how to get their frustration out is by creating violence or doing violence,” Enriquez said. “And that’s what our youth showed when they killed Melissa is that they’re okay, they’re okay with killing somebody.
