A brief but moving candlelight vigil was held Thursday night to honor the life of former student Demitri Hampton, who was killed Sunday by armed gunmen in a Flanders home invasion.
Sobbing family and friends held one another during the vigil, which included music, speakers, and words of solace from Hampton's pastor.
A memorial service will be held Monday at Suffolk County Community College; funeral services for Hampton will be held Saturday.
An investigation into Hampton's death is ongoing; police said this week Hampton could have been an innocent bystander.
