BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — Work is now underway on a memorial, honoring the ten people shot and killed almost two years ago at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue.

A viewer reached out about new fencing outside the store with "Tops Honor Space" signs.

A Tops spokesperson tells 7 News work is underway and should be done by early spring.

The spokesperson says the goal is to create a visually inspiring space that remembers the ten victims and offers a place of peace for survivors and the community.

This memorial is separate from the one being led by Mayor Byron Brown and the City of Buffalo.

7 News has done extensive reporting on the city's memorial, looking into questions surrounding the project's funding and timeline. You can read more about that here.
