Two years after a tragic shooting left three dead in Pine Hills, the community unites to advocate for gun violence prevention. Families of the victims, including 9-year-old T’Yonna Major, TV reporter Dylan Lyons, and Nathacha Augustin, lead a memorial walk organized by the nonprofit Yaya’s Dream, which was founded in T’Yonna’s memory. This event seeks to transform the grief of a devastating loss into a call for change, emphasizing that such violence should not be tolerated in their neighborhoods.
The community’s ongoing fight for justice is compounded by a lawsuit against the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, alleging wrongful death and civil rights violations for failing to adequately warn residents of the killer. Investigators suspect that then-19-year-old Keith Moses, who has been charged for the murders, was at large earlier in the day but remained undetected by law enforcement. The families assert that the tragedy affected not just the victims, but the entire Pine Hills community, underscoring the urgent need for meaningful action against gun violence.
