Little Rocks mayor says hell work with a local minister to stop black-on-black violence in the city.
It comes more than two weeks after reverend Benny Johnson wrote a letter to the mayor, telling him something needed to be done.
"in other words, Im sick and tired of my black brothers and sisters being shot down in the street like animals--like theyre wild game," Johnson told the city board Monday night.
The city board also passed an ordinance that requires more distance between daycares and adult stores.
The issue erupted after an adult store set up shop outside a daycare in southwest little rock several months ago.
