Photographs by Lauren Petracca for CNNBUFFALO, New York -- Phylicia Dove fails to fight back tears as she talks about the massacre that shattered her community's haven in Buffalo's Masten Park neighborhood."Tops market was a place of community, a safe space for us to meet, to talk, to be together," she told CNN."There's no one here who hasn't visited this Tops. It was ours.
Aaron Salter, the"hero" security guard who engaged the suspect but was fatally shot, watched her grow up in that store, she says.But despite the memories and the love she held for Tops, the mother of three said she and her family do not plan on ever going there again."All we did was be Black," Watson said."White people take everything from us. Even the only grocery store in our community. That's what they're doing to us.
