A vigil was held to honor the memory of Harmony and Hope, who were described as best friends. The community is working through their shock, sadness, fear, and anger as they come to terms with the heartbreaking loss. The tragic incident underscores the importance of addressing domestic violence and supporting those affected by its devastating consequences.
