The Story.... so far
The story includes "Security slim at teen dance, owners say" in the Cincinnati Enquirer. The promoter of the Christmas Eve teen dance that turned into a deadly shooting on the street about a block away, failed to provide the adequate security promised in his contract with The Legacy, said an attorney for the Roselawn banquet and conference center Tuesday."It's unfortunate the promoter dropped the ball here," said attorney Richard Goldberg.
Not only should the promoter of the Christmas Eve dance party that turned deadly at The Legacy be question but all others releated to this. Where is the CCA? When the "dance" turned rowdy it resulted in the death of 19 year-old Chanel Jordan.
Cincinnati council is looking at holding a stop the violence summit early next month to address the problems of violence and guns in the city. The Law and Public Safety committee held a special meeting yesterday to discuss the Christmas Eve shooting that left a 19-year-old Chanel Jordan dead and her child motherless.
Chair Cecil Thomas says it was a productive meeting, but now a holistic approach is needed to attack the problem, with council, police and parents working together. A number of community members spoke about the violence in the community and the need to take action against the problem.
