The nine-page, single-spaced document titled “East African Violence timeline” contains over 100 incidents from across the metro dating back to May 2023 and through last weekend. Each incident has a brief description, case numbers, suspect names and gang affiliations where available. "We cannot afford to deny that there's a problem.
