Decarlo Cornish, a Baltimore resident and gun violence survivor, is using his experiences to inspire and empower local youth. After enduring two life-threatening shootings—once in 2016 when he was shot four times and again in 2018 when he was shot eleven times—Cornish has dedicated his life to helping young people navigate the challenges they face.
On Saturday, Cornish's organization, Keep Empowering Youth, hosted a gun violence awareness event at Arundel Mills. The event aimed to mentor youth, promote peace, and encourage them to pursue positive paths despite the adversities they may encounter.
Cornish expressed his commitment to making a difference in the community, stating that he will be organizing a back-to-school event in the near future. His organization seeks to provide support and resources to young individuals, helping them to make informed choices and avoid the pitfalls of violence.
