A man working to curb the escalation of gun violence in Washington, D.C., was shot to death as he left his anti-violence training program, prompting a manhunt for his killer, friends of the victim and police said on Sunday.
Clarence Venable, 40, was gunned down Friday afternoon outside the headquarters of The Alliance for Concerned Men, a nonprofit that helps at-risk youth avoid the type of street crime that claimed his life, an official with the program told ABC News.
"We know his death will not be in vain. It's going to encourage all of us to do better," said Clayton Rosenberg, an official with The Alliance for Concerned Men.
