“The conspriracy of silence is something that’s come about over the years. It’s become part of the culture. We have to work against it,” said Kaleem Shabazz, one of the organizers of the rally.
Back in March, the teen mother was approached at gunpoint by men wearing masks. The perpetrators came into the Atlantic City house that Ruffin was staying out with other women. They tied the women up with ducttape and came out with cash.
Police say they believe Ruffin recognized one of the robbers.
