Vigil, Kenmore and 2nd Street
Left, scene from a candlelight vigil for Erwin Escober, 14, shot on Monday at 2nd Street and Kenmore Avenue in LAPD's Rampart Division. Sept. 27, 2007.
A huge crowd showed up--at least 150 people, including City Councilman Eric Garcetti. "This is our territory. This is our time. We can change the course of this violence," The Rev. Andrew Cantalan of Prince of Peace in Cypress Park told the crowd.
Attendees lit candles, and sang "We Shall Overcome" in English, and in Spanish: "nosotros venceremos."
