“Bringing suspects who commit these violent offenses to justice sends a clear message to others who may be contemplating using violence to settle disputes: You will be caught and prosecuted,” Krasner said. “But law enforcement simply cannot do this alone. That’s why we urge members of the public with information on these and other serious crimes to come forward.”
