I am appalled and saddened by the recent violence that took place on Cheshire Street which resulted in the death of two young men.

I would like to extend my appreciation to the Providence Police Department for responding to the scene and working diligently to bring justice for Abdoulaye Dialla, Abass Mbaye and their families.

The violence devastating our local communities must be stopped. I remain as committed as ever to working with my colleagues in government and local law enforcement to make Providence a safe and peaceful place to live.

I would like to share my deepest condolences with the families and friends of Abdoulaye Dialla and Abass Mbaye. Let us keep working towards a safer City in their honor.
