Community members in Indianapolis gathered to honor the life of Ron Gee, a beloved anti-violence leader who was tragically killed in a shooting at a gas station last week. Gee founded Cease Fire Indy, an organization dedicated to fighting gun violence in the city, and was known for his efforts to make Indianapolis a safer place. Friends and family remembered Gee as a peacemaker who was dedicated to his community and worked tirelessly to stop the cycle of violence.
Pastor Andrew Znachko, who worked closely with Gee, described their close friendship and Gee’s commitment to advocating for peace. Gee’s daughter, Renee Frieson, expressed her grief at losing her father to the very violence he fought against, highlighting the profound impact of his death on the community.
Despite the tragedy, Gee’s son Ron Jr. spoke of continuing his father’s legacy and carrying on his work to end gun violence in Indianapolis. He emphasized that his father’s mission was important and that they would continue to fight for a safer community in his honor.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is still investigating Gee’s murder, and the community is mourning the loss of a leader who made a significant impact in their efforts to curb violence in the city. Gee’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew him, and his dedication to creating a safer community will not be forgotten.
