A “beautiful soul” is a common description of how 16-year-old Mikayla Miller was in life.
The Hopkinton teenager is remembered as an athlete who loved basketball, an honors student who had dreams of studying journalism at a historically Black college or university and a generally untroubled child who was a loving family member and a loyal friend.
“She was a joy to her family, friends and teammates. She was never arrested or even suspended from school. Mikayla was a loving daughter, niece, and friend to so many,” Miller’s mother, Calvina Strothers, wrote on a GoFundMe page she set up Thursday, weeks after her daughter’s death.

As community members continue to demand answers about the death of 16-year-old Mikayla Miller, the Hopkinton Select Board scheduled an emergency meeting for Tuesday evening to discuss a candlelight vigil and rally intended to honor the teenager later this week.
Miller was found dead in Hopkinton on the morning of April 18. At the time, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office said foul play wasn’t suspected in her death, WHDH reported.
Since then, however, Miller’s family members and loved ones, members of the community and activists in Greater Boston have questioned the circumstances surrounding the teenager’s death.
