"There's a lot of bright, brilliant minds here in Little Village. We have a whole group of youth behind us that want change in their neighborhood, and we should be listening to them, not ignoring them," said community organizer Kristian Armendariz.

Earlier this week, a woman was found dead in a Little Village alley.

A separate community group is offering a reward to solve the case.
