Loved ones are remembering a 16-year-old Lafayette girl who was killed over the weekend.
Ja Nya Hebert was shot while sitting in a vehicle on Harrington Drive on Sunday, July 11. Police say she was found in the street with a gunshot wound to the back.
The event was held on East Clinton Street in Lafayette, and those in attendance wore Ja Nya s favorite colors, purple and white.
KATC spoke with Ja Nya s family earlier this week, who said they are finding comfort in watching her dance videos. Her mother said the past week has been tough, but she s slowly healing.
