Luke Nevis has worked for five days now with his chalk mural. He wants to cheer up people who are grieving in Capitol City.
Nevis wrote the message, “Spread the Love Sacramento.” The mural also includes a heart with the names of the six people killed.
He wants it to spark other random acts of kindness throughout the city.
Nevis told KCRA 3 that he happened to be doing some street performing along K Street one hour before the deadly shooting broke out.
He is counting his blessings that he left before the bars let out and didn’t get caught in the crossfire.
He said he felt compelled to do something positive for his hometown, so he bought 500 pieces of chalk and got right to work.
Through the chalk art at the docks near the downtown Embassy Suites, he hopes to make people smile and wants to show them there is more good than bad in the world.
“We have to stick together. We have to form together to make a bond and grow as a group, as humans, and as people. If we keep fighting each other, then it just grows. It has a ripple effect. I was hoping this ripple effect would ripple out in a positive way,” Nevis said.
