It was under a year ago when gang violence overtook an Easter egg hunt at TB McPherson Park in Gainesville.
One woman was fatally shot and two others were injured.
The park hosted the event after it was granted a permit from the City of Gainesville.
This year, ahead of Easter this Sunday, city officials say a permit was not issued for an Easter egg hunt.
