A mural on the steps of the building memorializes Knight and serves as a reminder of the lasting pain of violence.
“I just wanted to have something that would bring some type of brightness to the darkness that did happen,” artist Gina of A Little Touch by G said.
Two others were also injured in the shooting that killed Knight.
