Dozens gathered Monday night for an emotional vigil for a teen girl shot and killed in National City at a Halloween party in late October.
An 18-year-old boy was also killed at the same Oct. 28 party and the shooter is still on the loose.
The teen’s friends left candles, flowers, and messages for Gillian, remembering her for how she lived. Her friends say she loved thrifting, was a fashionista, and always cared for those around her. “She didn't know that side of town, she knew better. Why did I let her go? I should have never let her go to any party,” says Del Valle.
Gillian’s mom, dad, and friends are hoping someone will come forward with information on the shooter so their family can get justice, and closure.
