Two years ago today, July 30th, two young adults lost their lives to violence. They were killed when gunmen opened fire outside the establishment. Ms. Iesha Washington, and Craig A. Thompson, Jr., were among the hundreds of teenagers and young adults who attended the party.
When deputies arrived at the International Chemical Workers Union, Local 439, 5127 Highway 41, South, there were four to five hundred people at the scene. They located Ms. Washington as they began searching for victims. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
