JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Violent crime is still happening in the River City, despite much of the focus being on public safety with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Justice Coalition helps families impacted by crime by offering moral support and helping them navigate the court system. Tragically, violent crime is still being reported despite orders to stay at home and not gather in large groups because of COVID-19. It’s heartbreaking that they don’t get to do the vigil and things to honor their loved ones right now.”Manning's hope is for crime numbers and virus numbers go down.
