Support Gun Violence Prevention Locally
Camden Brown, better known as "Stink" to everyone who knew him, was a little guy with a big smile and a big personality, who was always busting out a dance move. His favorite color was red, he liked cars and trucks.
On August 2, 2021, Camden was tragically shot and killed because there was a loaded, unlocked gun at his friend’s house. Almost right away his mom, Da’Naisha Jackson and other family members started talking about how gun locks could prevent this kind of tragedy from happening to another family. At Camden’s first birthday in heaven celebration on May 6, 2022 they handed out free gun locks.

We want to always lift up and honor Da’Naisha Jackson and her family as the inspiration for Gun Lock Ambassadors, which seeks to empower regular Roanoke City community members with gun locks and gun safety education to spread the word in their circle about the life saving power of gun locks.
