“This is our community that we need to take back. A lot of kids are followers now,” Tyson said, via Entertainment Tonight. “We need to be there for each other but I need everyone’s help from the mayor to the police to all of you to allow her legacy to keep moving.”

Tyson also posted a photo from the memorial.

“SPECIAL THANKS TO MY TRACK FAMILY FOR SUPPORTING TRINITY. I LOVE YOU GUYS. FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,” he captioned via Instagram.
