Columbus is still trying to gain control of its gun violence issue after last year’s reports. Despite most of the world quarantining and locking down to prevent the spread of COVID last year, Columbus recorded a record-breaking 175 homicides in 2020, leaving families desperate for answers. Simmons’ killing marks the city’s 45th homicide of the year, so far.

“They need to get a handle on these guns,” Simmons’ mother, Betty Simmons Williams told WSYX. “Try to get some of the guns off the street. Too many people’s dying from guns.”

His sister, Jacqueline Burley, simply wants to know why this happened to her brother and who could be behind the deadly shooting. Leaving behind five children, Simmons is described by his cousin Ted Crome as being “about peace” and friendly with kids. 

Though witnesses were present at the scene, police currently don’t have any suspects in connection with Simmons’ tragic death.
