There is no blood left on the sidewalk. There are no crosses or memorials. Today, the spot on Mackay St. where, on May 4, 22-year-old Andrew Hunte was shot through the heart looks exactly like the rest of the construction-ravaged street.

Hunte’s death wasn’t the first street-gang related violence this city has seen and it won’t be the last. But by ignoring these incidences by letting the deaths of Hunte and other victims fall from memory, are Montrealers helping their own fears come true?
