The Beaches community plans to come together Tuesday night for a prayer vigil to focus on healing after a racially motivated shooting at a Jacksonville Dollar General that investigators have called a hate crime.
Local faith leaders want to take a stand against racism with a prayer vigil at 6 p.m. at St. Paul’s by the Sea Episcopal Church on 11th Avenue.
At a vigil the day after the shooting, City Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman intervened when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was being booed while speaking. Dr. Stanley McAllister, who pastors a church near the Dollar General, was in the middle of the argument and said he and others in the community felt frustrated and embarrassed by Pittman’s actions.
