May 24 would’ve been Brian Dickey’s brother-in-law’s 41st birthday. Instead, it was a day to remember his death and raise awareness around gun violence in Knoxville.

Demetrius Bomar was shot and killed on Lay Avenue back in December, and his family still grieves his death.

“It’s an ongoing process, rebuilding yourself and rebuilding your family,” Dickey said. “He was always the life of the party.”

Dickey told WVLT News he was fed up with the violence in his community and is calling on stricter gun control laws, even as a gun carrier himself.
