Tampa Police said the crash happened early Saturday morning outside Bradleys on Seventh Avenue. That is a place that many are describing as a safe space for the LGBTQ plus community.
Bradley's is one of the major safe spaces in our community," said Daniel Johnson with Pride of Tampa. "It's a place where you can come and feel seen and safe."
That sense of safety is now shaken. More than 100 people gathered at a vigil Saturday evening to remember the victims.
They stood together in sorrow and solidarity. One of the men there survived the crash and returned to the scene less than 24 hours later.
He said, “I don't know how we pulled this together so fast, but it just shows how strong and united this community really is."
As the community mourns, many are calling for change, demanding safer streets in Ybor City to prevent another tragedy
