Father fighting neighborhood crime shot to death weeks after son killed
Terrence Favors Denson made it his mission to help guide young people away from crime, gangs and guns, until he was shot to death in Atlanta on Sept. 8.

ATLANTA — An Atlanta father who’d been fighting to reduce violent crime in his Mechanicsville community was himself a victim of violent crime on Sept. 8.
Terence Favors Denson, 36, was shot outside his neighborhood bar, at Pryor St., SW, and Ralph David Abernathy Blvd., SW. and died before help could arrive.
Atlanta police have not yet identified any suspects.
He’d been working to reduce crime in Mechanicsville and surrounding neighborhoods by trying to guide young people away from guns and gangs-- especially after what happened this past June to his own son.
Denson started an organization to try to save young people from violence--from the life of crime he led when he was young.
