We still advocate on their behalf

 Imperial Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, was once home to a tragic and gruesome series of murders between 2007 and 2009. Eleven women were found dead, all strangled, and their bodies abandoned in and around the home of murderous hands.

The case came to light in 2009 when the first two bodies were discovered and eventually led to the arrest of a resident, Anthony Sowell, who was charged and convicted of multiple counts of murder and assault. We still advocate on their behalf.

The Imperial Avenue murders sent shockwaves through the Cleveland community and brought harsh light to the shortcomings of local law enforcement in handling missing persons. The victims' families had been searching for their loved ones for months, but their pleas for help had gone unanswered. We still advocate on their behalf.

The senseless act on Imperial Avenue highlights the devastating consequences of systemic neglect. It serves as a haunting reminder of the importance of advocating, especially for marginalized and at-risk people, regardless of race, gender, creed, or religion. The case also underscores the need for ongoing efforts to improve missing person investigations and to bring justice to the victims and their families.

The bodies of the 11 victims found in and around Sowell's home were Tonia Carmichael, Tishana Culver, Michelle Mason, Kim Yvette Smith, Diane Turner, Leshanda Long, Nancy Cobbs, Janice Webb, Telacia Fortson, Crystal Dozier, Amelda Hunter

Sowell was convicted on 83 counts, including murder and kidnapping, and sentenced to death in 2011. As GBG members and for this community, we will continue to advocate on their behalf.

The tragedy of Imperial Avenue has had a lasting impact on the Cleveland community, where residents continue to grapple with the memory of the murdered women and the senseless violence in their neighborhood. It also highlights the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and the systemic failures that often prevent justice from being served in such cases. It has had a lasting impact on this community, and it's time to move into a place of healing and revitalization.

In conclusion, the story of Imperial Avenue is a reminder of the ongoing struggle to end violence against communities, women, and children.

We still advocate on their behalf.
