It was behind a vacant home on Ash Street, where a family member found the body of 21-year-old Jaquan Burrows. He had been shot in the chest, ran from the shooter and jumped a fence into the back yard where he died. His body was found a week later.

It was at the site of his death where Thursday night, the community and family prayed for an end to senseless violence like this.

“It's a lot going on. We just want the violence to stop. It's hard. Like a mother who, she lost one child. She lost one child, he's in jail, and my sister lost her child to death. It's like nobody winning or loses. It's still a child not on the world and on the earth that is supposed to be here . . It's hard,” his aunt Jessica Burrows said.

At this take back the site vigil, family members spoke and remembered a man who they said was loved by many.

"He was just real quiet, but a very very very nice person. Like, I mean, I'm going, we're going to miss him so much. He was very, very cool. . . For me, it's his smile, and tipping that hat. It's cute. I love his smile. He had a beautiful smile," his aunt Katika Johnson said.

After the vigil, friends and family came together and shouted their love for Burrows.

“It's amazing how the balloons went in a whole different direction. In my mind, he was watching us, putting the balloons where he wanted to go. They went that way, we put them this way, and they flew back,” Johnson said.
