Dozens of adults and children marched this afternoon from King Prep High School to Harsh Park, the scene of the shooting.
They were escorted by at least six police vehicles as the crowd
chanted, urging anyone with information about Pendleton's slaying to
come forward.
"If you know who did this, turn them in!" shouted Melvin, a man
who led the march but did not want to provide his last name out of fear
of retaliation. "If you don't support this, next it might be you!"
