Friends, family and supporters gathered tonight in memory of a little girl from Lancaster County girl who died after a New Year's celebration accident.
On this cold Saturday night, mourners gathered in Manheim's Town Square, holding candles and shining light on the memory of 10-year old Aaliyah Boyer of Manheim.
During a New Years party in Maryland, officials say Aaliyah was outside watching fireworks with her family, when residents heard several celebratory gun shots; one of them striking her.
Richard Couyou, a family friend, says, "I've seen her everyday and every weekend out playing with her brother and neighborhood kids, so it's kinda gonna be different to not see her around here anymore."
The young girl was taken off life support earlier this week at a Children's Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware.
Aaliyah's organs are being donated and her mother, Crystal Blackburn, says she is finding comfort knowing her daughter's passing will help save the lives of others.
Aaliyah's mom said she and her family are touched and happy by the vigil during this difficult time.
