Community Corner
Remembering Victor McClinton Event at Altadena Church Wednesday
Children and families can share their feelings, pray, create art or sit and reflect on the death of community advocate Victor J. McClinton, who was fatally shot Christmas Day.
The shooting death of Victor McClinton, who founded and was director of Brotherhood Community Youth Sports League in Pasadena, has impacted the Pasadena and Altadena communities in a significant way since it occurred.
A candelight vigil was held for McClinton last week and a peace rally was held near Pasadena City Hall Sunday where Pasadena and Altadena leaders and officials expressed that something needs to change in the wake of recent gang-related violence in both communities.
Children and adults can now reflect on McClinton’s death however they feel most comfortable at an event at First Presbyterian Church of Altadena from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday night.
