An Interview with Malik Evans: Mayor of Rochester

Published | Video Starts at 10:25

We had a police officer that was killed, a gang member had come in from Boston to slay the police officer. We had multiple homicides. So the levels of violence were just so high. And We were able to, over the years, cut shootings down by almost 50% in the city of Rochester. Now we still have violence, but it is not nearly to the level that it was. So that's good.
