A New Jersey community already grappling with worsening violence held a vigil Tuesday night to mourn the loss of a 14-year-old boy who police say was shot and killed.
Chelmar Townsend was fatally shot around 10:30 p.m. Monday on City Park Drive in Millville, New Jersey. Chelmar was taken to Inspira Hospital where police say he died.
Hours after Chelmar was gunned down, family members and those in the community held a vigil for the recent 8th grade graduate. Chelmar's sister called the killing "senseless violence." "He literally just got out of 8th grade, summertime is here, he was just going to high school," Ahnestie Samuels said.
