Ansonia march to raise awareness about gun violence

ANSONIA - Resident Shawn Venson has organized a second annual “Stayin’ Alive 25 Community March” at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in memory of his son, Daryl Venson.

Daryl Rhys Venson, 25, was shot and killed March 9, 2011 in front of a convenience store on the corner of Hill Street and Root Avenue. He was unarmed when he was shot in the back in front of 3 Hill St.
No arrests have been made in the case.

The march will start at the corner where Daryl Venson was slain and proceed to Veterans Park on Main Street, adjacent to City Hall.

Last year 200 supporters turned out to march with Shawn Venson and his family to raise awareness about violence in the city.
