Peaceful Surrenders & Real Talk on Reunion Radio

Sunday’s episode of Reunion Radio on 97.9 The Beat hit different. Anton Lucky, founder of Urban Specialist, and community advocate Corey Cleghorn came through to speak on the peaceful surrender of Tracy Haynes Jr., a major moment that showed how real community leadership can make a difference.

The situation had the city talking, but Anton and Corey kept it calm. They didn’t just talk about how they helped Tracy turn himself in without incident—they showed us the power of real community connection. No drama. No violence. Just grown folks stepping up and guiding our young men in a better direction. But that wasn’t the only life touched by Urban Specialist. The duo also recently helped Kendrick Finch peacefully turn himself into Dallas Police as well. These moments don’t make national headlines, but they mean everything to the families and communities impacted.

Anton Lucky spoke from experience. As a former gang leader turned respected peacemaker, he knows firsthand the streets can take you under—but he also knows redemption is real, and guidance makes the difference. The Urban Specialist team is out here providing real resources, not just talk. From conflict resolution to mentorship and community engagement, they’re pulling up where it counts.

Corey Cleghorn echoed that same energy, stressing the importance of being present in the streets and showing up for our young people before the system swallows them whole.

And don’t forget: Reunion Radio goes up every Sunday, 5PM–7PM CST on 97.9 The Beat—where real stories and real voices shine.
