Our hearts are shattered by the tragic violence that occurred at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket on Sunday afternoon. We mourn alongside those who are experiencing unimaginable loss and trauma.

As a survivor-led organization, we know that there is much for families to navigate after losing loved ones to homicide. Along with our prayers and condolences, we also offer tools for the days and weeks ahead, including the Survivors’ Burial and Resource Guide, developed from our own experiences in the aftermath of tragedy.

Violence leaves many victims in its wake. Their pain is our pain, and their grief is our grief. The Louis D. Brown Peace Institute stands with all who have been impacted in the hope that healing, justice, and peace will one day prevail.
