YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Family and friends of Javier Milo Figueroa gathered Saturday night to hold a vigil to remember him.
The vigil was held on the corner of Fourth Avenue and 16th Street, which is the same corner he died at last week.
According to YPD, Figueroa and his older brother, Juan Figueroa, were involved in a road rage fight with a 36-year-old man.
Carrie Matus, a friend of the family, shares what the vigil means to the family saying, “Friends, family, to have a place to, a safe spot for them to mourn and share stories, and share memories of Milo…we also really hope that this event would help bring awareness to this case, as well as hopefully any witnesses who would have seen would come forward and speak to Joseph the father, and help us out.”
