Pastor in white shirt embraces a crying mother, Syreeta Myers, who has come to the vigil of her son, instead a fierce shootout broke out.

At a vigil to commemorate the death of 18 year old VonDerrit Myers Jr. at the hands of an armed security guard, an dispute breaks out between two groups at the street intersection.
At least four shooters are involved in a violent 2 minute shoot out which saw at least 58 bullets fired. Participants dive for cover and flee.
Once it is over, one man lies injured, others are sped away in vehicles or run off. Blood and shell casings litter the street, and as the police secure the crime scene, the pastor calls the people to gather around and continue the vigil to honor the dead teenager. Another day of urban violence in the USA.
