As Exel Taylor was being arraigned in 36th District Court for allegedly shooting three-year-old London Muldrow, many people wondering what will it take to stop the violence.
London is the third child in just over two weeks to be shot as people chose gunfire to settle their rage.
The three children shot were not the intended targets, but that won't help their wounds heal any faster or lessen the pain for a parent who could have lost a son or daughter.
Taylor, 24, is now facing multiple charges including Assault with Intent to Commit Murder.
"These children having children is the problem," said Cornelious Grubb. "They have no guidance."
Grubb says he plans on moving out of Detroit before his three-year-old son gets much older.
"I've been shot 11 times.. in Detroit," said Grubb as he lifted up his shirt to show just some of his scars.
"I think they just handle stuff the wrong way," said Detroiter Tamyunika Osborne. "They just don't think before acting.
Bishop Daryl Harris of Total Life Christian Ministries on Detroit's east side says too often people don't have empathy for others.
Harris is also the Faith Director for Ceasefire Detroit - a partnership between law enforcement, churches, and members of the community who regularly encourage people with criminal pasts to strive for a better life.
"It's so much easier to talk about how to teach a person to play a video game.. or teach a person how to catch the bus, but when you really think about it, I don't think it's any different than teaching a person how to value life. I think what's different is the interest in learning that lesson," said Harris.
