Dozens of friends of Carl Reimer and other concerned citizens gathered in Mission Garden Park on Friday night to remember Carl Reimer, the 19-year-old who was shot to death by suspected gang members. The group marched to the 7-Eleven at Laurel and Chestnut streets, where a friend of Reimer’s, Tyler Tenorio, had been shot dead a few months earlier. The event was organized on Facebook, at a page aptly named “Gangs Suck.” Facebook is also where the community group “Take Back Santa Cruz” was launched. It already has 4,700 members, while the younger “Gangs Suck” has almost 700.

“We really need to raise awareness,” said Ryan Wade, 23, who knew Reimer. Like many of the participants, he was worried about the threat that gangs are posing to local teens, and said that the city must show greater awareness of the problem. “I just hope that it accomplishes something,” said Beverly Young, Reimer’s a close friend of Reimer’s mother, who was a surrogate grandmother figure for him. She said she plans on attending many more walks, and, “There’s going to be many more of them.” Read more at Santa Cruz Sentinel and Fox35.
