About a dozen people from the groups “Black on Black Crime,” “Black Women’s Army,” and “Black Man’s Army” walked in front of the Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center in the Hough Neighborhood of Cleveland on Saturday in support of a 61-year-old woman who two teenagers carjacked in October.
“No peace, no justice,” the group chanted as they approached the center of the courtyard in front of the center.
“Who are we here for? Seniors,” they yelled in support of the woman, 61, who lives in the neighborhood.
News 5 obtained a video that showed the incident that occurred on Oct. 31. She was attacked while walking her two dogs and fought back despite having a gun pulled out on her by one of the teens. Eventually, the teens managed to steal the woman’s car.

“A senior should be able to come to walk their dog in any neighborhood at any time,” said Art McCoy.
The group wants her to know that she can return and feel safe.
