PETERSBURG, Va. – Sunday, April 19 will mark one-year since U.S. Marshals say convicted felon Alexander Hill, Jr. killed a family of four inside their Petersburg home.

To remember the lives lost, dozens of people in the area gathered on Saturday to support the initiative to "Stomp Out Violence."

This event was a way to remember and honor the four victims who died inside a Harding Street home, last year.

All four victims were members of Metropolitan Baptist Church in Petersburg -- and that's exactly where this step show was held.

Family members were in attendance, along with Petersburg Police Chief John Dixon III and Petersburg Mayor Howard Myers.

The performances promoted peace and emphasized the need to step up in order to stomp out violence.
