Kelly Phillips Jordan The following is sent to you on behalf of Mpls Council Member Don Samuels:
This morning, an armed robbery took place at Jerry's Flower Shop, located at 33rd and Lyndale Avenue North. During the robbery, an employee was shot and killed. The victim was a 55-year-old man, whose family has owned and operated the store since 1961. In response, I will be holding a vigil tomorrow at the scene of the murder from 9am to 6pm. I strongly urge you to attend if possible, and to forward this e-mail to others, so that we may present a strong statement against such senseless violence and loss of life. Rain is forecast for tomorrow, but we will have a tent. I sincerely hope you can join me. If you have questions, or need directions, please call my office during business hours tomorrow at 612-673-2203, and someone will help you. What: Vigil for homicide victim at Jerry's Flower Shop Where: In front of the store, at 33rd and Lyndale Avenue North, Minneapolis When: Monday, May 17th, 9am to 6pm Many people in the surrounding area have given up hope of a safe home and neighborhood. They need to see us out tomorrow. We need to be strong on their behalf. Together, we are powerful. I urge you to lend your talent, energy, and presence to this vigil. In hope for peace, Don Samuels REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll!
