Seattle Times:
In a neighborhood that had seemingly grown immune to news of violence and death, the fatal shooting of a popular, young music promoter earlier this week apparently has galvanized the community. The death of Tyrone Love, 26, who was by all accounts one of the good guys, has sparked a rally, two vigils, a benefit concert set for tonight, and renewed discussion among community leaders about how to reduce violence among youths. A co-founder of a local music-promotion company named Vibrant Entertainment 206, Love worked during the day at the YMCA where he ran programs for at-risk youth. He was devoted to his mother and sisters and volunteered for numerous organizations such as the Community Day School Association near his home in the Central District where he was a mentor, friend and counselor to many. “I never met a man with the kind of character Tyrone had,” said his friend Danielle Legge, who met him when they were both students at Garfield High School. “His death is pushing people to take a step up and stop what’s going on.”
