North Preston resident Colter Simmonds says about 20 to 30 people gathered at the North Preston Community Centre to discuss how best to tackle violence in the area.
The meeting followed the death of Lee-Marion Cain, who was shot while sitting in a vehicle in the community last week.
Simmonds, who is a cousin of Cain’s father, said in an interview Wednesday that community members also spoke to police about how they could help with the investigation into the boy’s death.
Halifax police have said they are looking for two suspects in the shooting of Cain: two Black men who were in a burgundy SUV, possibly a Chevrolet, with tinted windows.
Investigators have said they did not believe the shooting to be random.
