As the two-year anniversary of the May 14, 2022 mass shooting at a Buffalo Tops supermarket that left 10 people dead and three others injured nears, Buffalo leaders are recognizing National Crime Victims' Rights Week.

"Everyone was affected that day," said Zeneta Everhart, whose son, Zaire Goodman, was shot through the neck and back while he was working at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue. He survived the attack. "No one was untouched by what happened on 514," 

"We must never forget that crime, perpetuated against any of us impacts all of us," said Garnell Whitfield, whose mother, Ruth Whitfield, was among those killed.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown issued a proclamation to recognize National Crime Victims' Rights Week as it concludes.

Brown says he's been working with them to help ensure safer gun laws for the community and country and make sure survivors are not forgotten.

National Crime Victims' Rights Week has been recognized each year since 1981 and has been sponsored by the National Center for Victims of Crime, U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime and Office of Justice Programs.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office is reminding residents that resources are available for those who have been crime victims, witnesses and their familes.

“I want the residents of Erie County to know that our office has a team of victim advocates who are available to help you, support you and protect you. I encourage anyone who has been a victim to contact our office for more information on how we can help you recover from the often-traumatic experience of a crime,” Acting Erie County District Attorney Mike Keane said in a statement.
