A second teen is dead in the last two weeks after being shot and killed Monday on the 1200 block of East Sedgwick Avenue in Decatur.

Last week, a 14 year girl was killed in an early morning shooting.

Resident Clinton Dye is frustrated that Black youth are dying at an alarming rate.

He recalls the moments following Monday's shooting.

"I came down the street and parked my car around the corner and saw a young man laying on the ground," Dye explained. "Ambulance were trying to bring him back."

Bullet holes can be seen on the side of the home where they came flying.

Dye said teen gun violence is a major issue, but he's not surprised.

"You can go out into the street and get a gun like getting a bag of potato chips," Dye shared.

Arianna Fane, the program director for the Boys and Girls Club in Decatur, says some teens don't have supervision at home.

The organization aims fill that gap through education programs teaching career development, physical health, and financial literacy.

"Our program is for teens 12 through 18, so legally they don't have to have a guardian," Fane shared. "But here they'll able to have supervision, so we provide that."

Fane said the organization is looking to resolve conflict with their new "Street Smarts" program by mentoring to teens to work out issues with their peers.

"Participants will come in four times a month specifically for the program, and they'll get the chance to hear from law enforcement and guest speakers," Fane said. "They'll hear testimonies from people who we know had the same issues and have overcame them."

Dye said while mentorship can help, teens having positive behavior starts with their parents teaching them.

"You have to have some kind of discipline in line and be a parent to your kids," he said.

The "Street Smarts" program doesn't have an exact start date, but Boys and Girls club staff plan to start it shortly after Labor Day.

The education programs start on August 22 and you can find more information by clicking here.
