TAMARAC, FL – On August 26, 2023, U.S. Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick released the following statement on the recent shooting at a Jacksonville Dollar General.
“Three innocent Black lives were senselessly taken today. My heart goes out to those who lost their loved ones in this vile act of violence and to the entire Jacksonville community. Florida’s 20th Congressional District stands with you during this difficult time.
While the incident is under investigation, it has become undeniable that this killer was motivated by a deep and malicious hatred of Black individuals. Today’s shooting was a repugnant hate crime and a direct attack against Florida’s Black community.
We must stand firmly against hatred — and those who peddle it — before extremism engulfs our state and more Black lives are needlessly lost.”
