Following a [shooting yesterday in broad daylight that left one dead](/ronnell-bradley-21-shot-dead-mermaid-avenue/), and other recent violence in the neighborhood, fed up residents of Coney Island are holding a rally to call for an end to area violence.

The rally will kick off today, August 27, at 6:00 p.m. on West 24th Street and Mermaid Avenue – the site of yesterday’s fatal shooting.

It is being organized by the Coney Island Anti-Violence Collaborative, which [formed in December](http://www.bensonhurstbean.com/2013/12/shawn-white-shooting/?ref=bklyner.com) after a spate of fatal shootings in Coney Island [around Christmas](http://www.bensonhurstbean.com/2013/12/yaquin-english-shot-death/?ref=bklyner.com) last year.

Local elected officials were slated to hold a legislative softball game at MCU Park this evening, but they canceled it out of respect following the shooting. Several, including Councilman Mark Treyger and Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny, will attend the rally instead.
