Thursday, January 02, 2003 Peace Heals by Insight News Source On Nov. 22, while sitting at the dining room table doing her homework, Tyesha Edwards was fatally shot. The shot struck more than a nerve throughout Minneapolis as public outcry reflected the pain that echoed through every community. The Minneapolis Police Department spent more than 1,000 person-hours working to solve the crime over the following few days with over 100 cops working both day and night. By the fourth day, three young men were incarcerated for the seemingly random shooting of the young South Minneapolis girl who had many more years ahead of her.
Edwards should never have left this world as early as or in the way she did. Recently, a step was taken to make certain that she did not die in vain and her memory is not forgotten. On Monday, Dec. 16, Edwards� mother and stepfather, Linda Longino and Leonard Winborn along with the Rev. Randy Staten and Jonathan Palmer met with Nancy Sabin, the Executive Director of the Jacob Wetterling Foundation and Co-founder Patty Wetterling, Jacob�s mother, to discuss plans for founding a Peace Project in Edward�s name. http://www.insightnews.com/articles.asp?mode=display&articleID=295 Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
