On Monday night, Heeding God's Call held another vigil in honor of a homicide victim in Harrisburg.
The services were for Davion Walker, 21, who was killed when Maurice Belton allegedly pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger, not knowing the gun was loaded.
Dozens attended the vigil at North 15th and Verbeke Streets.
Over the past few months, there have been many of these vigils. Heeding God's Call says the organization's major goals are eradicating the streets of illegal guns and straw purchases.
The organization's director Stephen Drachler says it's time for the violence to end. "It's time to say stop the violence, it's time to say enough."
Of course nothing can bring Davion back, but hopefully these vigils help with healing and in finding a solution to this seemly never ending problem.
As long as killing continues, so will these memorials, the next one for Matthew Dyson who was shot and killed early yesterday will be scheduled soon.
