While investigators have not confirmed the shooting was gang-related, Fugazi said she believes it was and said the brazen nature of the crime requires a strong federal response.
Fugazi said the city has cracked down on illegal guns, seizing 752 guns off the street so far this year, up from 610 in the same time period last year.
Now, she wants more manpower from the federal government.
CBS13's Steve Large asked if that call for federal help extended to the National Guard.
Stockton Pastor Kevin White works with the Victims of Violent Crime in San Joaquin County, and said justice is part of the healing process for families whose loved ones are killed in violent crimes.
"I don't know if I would ever be able to go to another birthday party again," Fugazi said.
"I am calling on the full power of the federal government not only to stop crime but also to give our community the tools to prevent crime before it starts. We propose an anti-crime and human-development program called The Communiy Impact Program that brings appropriate resources from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Justice, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Transportation, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of the Interior directly into Stockton so we can build a safer, healthier, more resilient community."
