Las Vegas City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman said Jonathan Lewis shouldn’t be defined by his death but his love and potential. She demanded accountability for his killers.
“The tragic and senseless violence that took Jonathan from us is a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the inexcusable toll that violence can take on our communities. It is a reminder that we cannot and must not tolerate such acts of brutality,” she said.“Jonathan's life was a precious gift that should be cherished, nurtured and celebrated. Instead, it was cut short, leaving us a void that we cannot fill. We must unite as a community to honor Jonathan's memory by reaffirming our commitment to creating a society where every person is safe, valued and respected.” Click on the photo to read the full story.
