Carolyn Crankshaw's 18-year-old son Darrion Moffatt was killed after being shot at a home on Hall Ave. in September.
She would like to see more done at the school level.
"I hope people take away the fact that something needs to be done and I'm hoping that something can be done in the schools," says Crankshaw. "You got to get them early and figure out why are they having guns and knives in their hands. They're young kids."

Mike Rivard knew Moffatt for three-years ands says he misses his best friend.
"He's a good kid though," says Rivard. "He was a really good guy. He was always like a brother to me you know."
Jordan Robinson also knew Moffatt for three-years.
"We lived together in a group home," says Robinson. "His vision was a struggle. He was always a good kid with a positive outlook."
The organizers told the crowd, they were disappointed Mayor Drew Dilkens and members of Windsor police did not attend the vigil.
