Trayveion Alvin Green, 24, has been charged with seven counts of second-degree murder following a mass shooting on Lake Street in Minneapolis that left Gregory Sweeten dead and six others injured. Misha Sweeten, Gregory's sister, is advocating for her brother to be remembered as more than just another victim of gun violence. The shooting occurred on August 26, near Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, and was part of a series of violent incidents in the city, including a subsequent shooting at Annunciation Church that killed two children.

Reports indicate that Green fired nearly 30 shots in eight seconds during the attack. Misha Sweeten lamented the loss of her brother, emphasizing his importance to many people. The ongoing violence in Minneapolis highlights the urgent need for community safety measures and support for victims' families.
