Who is malik spellman

Shootings, robberies, murders It may rate, but it warps the impression of the viewer about the town that they live in. A few weeks ago, I got a call from the news director at Spectrum1 asking if I would work with a new reporter they wanted to bring on. Malik Spellman. They felt that Malik would give Spectrum1 insights and perspectives that the station did not current have. Of course, I said yes. So after a brief chat, I signed Malik up for TheVj, of course, and he started shooting on his iPhone.

That is because, following a stint in prison for armed robbery, he came out and dedicated himself to fighting gang violence. Here's a lift from the review in the Boston Globe :. He doesn't give up. I respect that. By day, Spellman counsels about violence prevention and teaches life skills to middle-school students.

Outside the classroom, he's dealing with gangs whose turf may only be a block apart. In season one, Spellman works with opposing gangs run by brothers, tries to prevent a war in his own neighborhood after a gang member's pregnant girlfriend is killed, and tries to calm tensions after a game of dice erupts into gunplay in the Imperial Courts housing project.

For the last 20 years Spellman has dedicated his life to ending gang violence, putting it all on the line to mediate truces between rival gangs in Los Angeles — adversaries sometimes separated by less than one city block. GANG WARS executive produced by rapper and actor Ice-T, provides an unprecedented look at gang life, following Spellman as he coordinates and oversees tense moments of mediation between enemies with long histories of hate and violence.
