'I'm not going to stop fighting as hard as I could fight to make sure to keep our city safe.'
CLEVELAND — At the end of May, Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb outlined a crime reduction plan ahead of the summer months. However, the city has seen rashes of violent crime—from shootings to carjackings, robberies and homicides. Summer crime has already been on the rise."When I was growing up in the Southeast Side, I was busy from sunup to sundown and that allowed me to stay out of trouble.
The Varsity House Local Legends Camp, hosted by Cleveland native and former Notre Dame cornerback Shaun Crawford featured guest speakers, including Bibb and Browns legend Bernie Kosar. A skills portion of the camp was led by instructors, including Browns kicker Cade York, running back Demetric Felton and offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
Felton, who was recently a victim of crime in Cleveland after his car was stolen—just hours before teammate Greg Newsome II was carjacked at gunpoint—spoke about the importance of being involved in the youth camp and giving local kids a summer outlet. "It goes to our vision at city hall about making sure that our young people have productive things to do throughout the entire summer. And sports has the ability to empower children," Bibb said.
