Sunday afternoon, residents and members of Black Lives Matter-Louisville said they have tried to call attention to the violence and unresolved issues.

Their demands include a residents task force to rehouse requests in queue and space for residents on the Metro Housing Authority Board.

“People keep saying, ‘what if it was your grandmother?’ It is somebody’s grandma! It is somebody’s granddaddy It is somebody’s uncle and auntie – somebody’s mother, and they are worried, and they are concerned. They should not have to live with this kind of worry and concern every day,” Chanelle Helm, Black Lives Matter-Louisville, said.
