"Rob Steele is the fiancé of the late Mary Marshall, one of the Raleigh mass shooting victims. Steele said he feels lied to and that Sunday's Raleigh Healing Together event carried too much of a political tone."

"Steele said his late fiancé was not a gun control advocate.
“I don’t want to be a pawn,” Steele said. “I don’t want Mary’s memory to be a pawn.”
While Steele said Marshall would not want an assault weapon ban, she would want mental health reform.
Steele insisted he wanted to remember Marshall and the four other victims: Officer Gabriel Torres, James Thompson, Nicole Connors and Susan Karnatz.
“I don’t want them to be forgotten,” Steele said."
