The Columbia Police Department announces a gun turn-in event scheduled for July 24, partnering with Vonyetta Watson, the mother of gun violence victim Julian ‘JuJu’ Keel. This initiative comes in response to rising concerns over gun violence following Keel’s tragic death during a graduation party in June 2024.
