All parties involved felt that the Hall shooting can be the tipping point to end violence in Saginaw. They hope the city can move forward from this incident.
The Concerned Citizens of Saginaw are continuing to protest the investigation into Hall's death. The Concerend Citizens are a group of Saginaw community members that formed after the death of the 49-year-old Hall.
Saginaw Police say they shot and killed Hall outside the Riverview Plaza on July 1 because he was armed with a knife and acting aggressively.
