East St. Louis (KSDK) - At 11 p.m. Friday, church members and community leaders will march at some of the more violent areas in East St. Louis.

St. Clair State's Attorney Brendan Kelly says bus loads of church members will take an anti-violence message to three apartment complexes that have seen their share of crime: John DeShields, Orr-Weathers and Gompers.

Kelly says people interested in participating in march should arrive at 11 p.m. at the New Life Community Church at 1919 State Street in East St. Louis.
