New Yorkers Against Gun Violence has just issued a new report, Anonymous Shell Casings, that highlights the devastating impact of unsolved gun crimes on families across New York, and the frustration experienced by law enforcement when there is little or no evidence to work with. NYAGV included an interactive map of the report that can be found below. Every week families across New York are ripped apart by gun violence, the lives of law enforcement officers are put at risk and police departments are left to solve heinous crimes with few leads and little or no evidence.
