    National Day of Remembrance Walk for Murder Victims 

    Oxnard, CA –  Oxnard Police Department partners with the Greater Ventura County Chapter Parents of Murder Children (POMC) to host a Remembrance Walk in honor of National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims on Wednesday, September 25, 2019. 

    The purpose of this event is to focus on the impact of murder on families, and communities, and ways to support and serve survivors. The walk will commence at Wilson Park (350 N. C Street, Oxnard, CA 93030) at 6 PM and end at Plaza Park (255 W. 5th Street, Oxnard, CA, 93030) with an invocation and moment of silence for all the victims. POMC invites families, friends, neighbors, community members and all who want to support survivors of murdered loved ones. Families are encouraged to bring a photo of their loved one to the memorial service. 

    On September 25, 2019, The National Organization of Parents Of Murdered Children, Inc. and countless other crime victims and survivors will gather in cities and towns across the United States for the National Day of Remembrance to pay tribute and honor our nation’s murder victims and their surviving family members.The National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims not only recognizes murder victims but also honors those organizations throughout the United States that provide services such as support, advocacy and counsel to loved ones of murder victims.

    In 2007, Congress designated September 25 as the National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims. Robert and Charlotte Hullinger, of Cincinnati, formed Parents of Murdered Children following the 1978 murder of their 19-year-old daughter, Lisa, while she was studying in Germany. The National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims was designated by Congress to honor and remember homicide victims and the devastating impact their tragic deaths had on families, friends, and communities.
