On Thursday evening. ANC commissioners gathered with neighbors for a protest in Wiggins’ honor. 

"We’ve had many instances like this that have occurred where community members have lost their lives: mothers, fathers, sons, daughters," said Tyrell Holcomb, ANC 7F Chair. "It’s unacceptable. We deserve better and that’s why we’re out here today."

People who gathered at the gas station said they want to see businesses in this area stepping up security measures and law enforcement doing more to lock up criminals.  

"Not just the police department, but the U.S. attorney’s office start prosecuting folks vigorously," said Edward Rhodes, a longtime community member. 

Rhodes said he became a crime victim earlier this month after some guys followed him home. 

"They accosted me with a firearm and robbed me on my front porch at 12:15 p.m.," Rhodes said. "I told members of the community then that we better do something about this before somebody gets killed."
