Peace walk, vigil held for 12-year-old killed in SW Baltimore

(Baltimore, MD) -- A vigil was held by WeOurUs in the Southwest Baltimore community where a 12-year-old was killed on Saturday.

Members of the group gathered in the 24-hundred block of Misel Court in Westport to begin their community peace walk.

It's the same location where Jaylen Richards was shot and killed on Saturday.

He was a sixth grade student at Westport Academy.

Baltimore Police believe Richards was shot with an assault-style rifle and that the shooting was targeted.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call police.
