Tuesday, November 28, 2023, marks one month since several teenage boys brutally attacked Preston Lord leading to the loss of his young, vibrant, and precious life.
Unfortunately the assailants have not come forward to stand in their truth and to take responsibility for their actions. No arrests have been made as of today.
As a community we will be walking Tuesday night at 6 p.m. as we LIGHT THE NIGHT to honor Preston, condemn this act of violence and those attacks prior to Preston, and to ensure that local law enforcement and the FBI knows we as parents and community support their thorough investigation.
There's a saying I use often that says: "The truth has legs, and when everything else in the room blows up and dissolves away it still stands--so it's always best to start there."
To those who did this, this town will not stand for cowardice nor violence.
Come forward and give our student community and the Lord family a path to healing and peace that they so deserve.
Walk details:
6 p.m. start
Meet at ALA Queen Creek. We will walk north on Hawes to Ocotillo and end at Queen Creek Police Department.
This is a 2.1 mile walk.
Join us at any point wearing comfy shoes, reflective gear, ORANGE shirts, glow necklaces/flashlights.
