During the Feb. 7 Town Council meeting, Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley and the council recognized Preston Lord and his family during the moment of silence. “Preston, his family and friends continue to be on my mind and in my heart. It cannot be stressed enough – the senseless acts of violence that took place on Oct. 28 are unacceptable. And those that are responsible will be held accountable. Thank you to the community for continuing to stand up and say violence will not be tolerated,” said Wheatley.
