About 60 family members and friends attended a vigil Thursday evening for Eros Berisaj outside the house where he died on April 3.
Berisaj, 15, was shot and killed as he allegedly broke into a house at 525 Creekwood Court.
The attendees, many of whom wore T-shirts adorned with photographs of Eros, gathered at about 5:15 p.m. and walked about a mile from Eros’ family’s house to Creekwood Court.
The Rev. Fred Brown, pastor of the State Street Baptist Church and friend of Eros’ father, Saban Ferizi, led in prayer after the procession arrived at the house.
The family had announced that they would gather at the Warren County Justice Center, but decided they would march to the house.
Ferizi had previously said he wanted to see where his son died.
Attendees spent about 20 minutes on the street in front of the house and then placed flowers on the curb before leaving.
Barbara Mosley, 14, attended Moss Middle School with Eros and had known him for about six years.
Eros called Mosley the afternoon he was killed and told her he was going to get his mother something to eat, she said.
“Just before he hung up, he told me he loved me,” Mosley said.
