MIAMI HERALD STAFF

Miami's Liberty City community will rally in an anti-violence protest on Saturday. The residents will gather in response to a recent mass shooting that left two dead and five injured.

Since the mass shooting in June, a man riding on his bicycle was shot dead and 67-year-old Pastor Kenneth Johnson was also murderedin the neighborhood. Johnson was attacked by two young men who tried to steal money out of his hand and a gold-plated chain from around his neck.

City and community leaders say the violence must end. 

The anti-violence protest will start at  7:30 a.m.  Saturday at Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, 1140 NW 62 St.
