Dozens of women, mothers, tied together by loss gathered in Southwest Atlanta Saturday to pray for change.

Stephen Murphy, 23, was gunned down on Garibaldi Street at a Fourth of July celebration. Just a few days later, five men carjack a man on the same street before fatally shooting him and dumping his body.

The recent violence is only the latest in a frightening number of violent crimes in the same neighborhood.

Victims mothers walked in unity Saturday to express their pain and fight back with peace.
