A candlelight prayer vigil was held for victims of a deadly quintuple shooting that erupted following a joint scrimmage at Roxborough High School on Tuesday.
The Philadelphia Police Department shared disturbing surveillance video of the shooting that showed a group of gunman get out of a light-colored SUV and open fire.
His mother was at the vigil on Thursday night, surrounded by support from community members, some of whom knew her son as a "smiley and funny" teenager.
