J.M. Giordano’s new zine “13-23” looks at gun violence in Baltimore.
Comment on this storyPhotographer J.M. Giordano has spent years documenting the aftermath of gun violence in Baltimore, the city he has long called home. Giordano’s documentation is now being published in a zine titled“In 2013, as a resident of Baltimore, I didn’t think that parts of the city understood or even cared about the rise in homicides. Baltimore saw a spike in homicides in 2013 from 219 in 2012 to 235, which at the time ‘defied regional and national trends.
“The activists who created Baltimore Ceasefire and now Baltimore Peace Movement walked through the city streets during the 300 Man March; Moms Demand Action held several rallies and marches, fed up with the city’s gun violence taking their children.
“On a hot July night in 2013, a routine traffic stop led to the death of Tyrone West. I talked and recorded a witness who watched as, ‘[Police] beat [West] with batons, they was kicking him in his face, they was kicking him in his back. A Morgan State car and about 10 cars pulled up and they jumped out and beat him. They were yelling, “Get down on the ground, get down on the ground.” When he got down on the ground they still jumped out and banked him. Then they tried to resuscitate him.
“During the summer of 2013, I was invited by family members of Davon ‘Lil Daddy’ Ockime to his funeral because, as his aunt put it, ‘[The media] comes to these scenes and we never see them again.’ At his funeral, I met his cousin Dee Oneday, with whom I still talk, who thought that the Baltimore City police department’s use of their so-called “blue light camera” program was flawed. ‘My cousin didn’t die of a gunshot wound,’ she said back in 2013 at his West Baltimore funeral.
“I followed all of these movements while also documenting crime scenes as well the joy of weekend events organized by the city’s activists. This decade-long project hopefully highlights the work of Baltimore’s peacemakers and what they were up against then and now.”
