"I have lost a lot of friends to gun violence and sometimes when you lose someone close to you [and] then there's a shooting the next day or the next week or the same day, it doesn't feel like the victims get enough time," Holbrook said.

"This is, in its small way, for anyone who's lost someone to gun violence."
