There were tears, prayers and even laughter. Family, friends, classmates and neighbors united in their grief and disbelief.
"It's just a sad that's my best, one of my greatest friends, somebody I can trust," said Allen Ragland.
44-year-old Tracy Coleman, her 15-year-old son, Reggie and her 39-year-old brother Ronald were all shot to death in her condo Sunday night, the only survivor, was her three year old son.
Coleman's live-in boyfriend, the father of the toddler, went on a rampage less than an hour after Coleman filed a domestic abuse complaint against him.
36-year-old Sharif Whitlock was later found hanging from an electrical tower 30 miles away, a suicide.
For those left behind it's hard to comprehend, especially the execution of 15-year-old Reggie, found shot in the head on his bedroom floor.
"That was useless and cowardly because to kill a kid what can you get out of that," said family friend Donna Miller.
Reggie's friends remember a happy-go-lucky kid. Just recently he joined a local dance troop. His teammates paid a special tribute at the vigil.
Reggie Coleman was a freshman at Oak Crest High School. His friends' say he was such a bright presence, it's hard to believe he's gone.
"It's very sad and I still I don't believe it at all, I still don't believe it and standing here it's just weird because it's for him and I still think he's still around somewhere," said Khadijah Evans.
Those left behind were together, clinging to each other, sharing an unspeakable loss.
