Crime 👇🏼
Ensuring a safe environment will be my top priority. On May 17th, 2024, my daughter, Junisha Niclasse, tragically lost her life to gun violence in North Miami Beach. She was an exceptional young woman, someone every parent would be proud to have. Though she was not the intended target, the assailant remains at large, and there are still no leads on the perpetrator. I understand the deep pain of being a victim of gun violence, and I am committed to preventing other parents and loved ones from enduring the same heartache I am experiencing
