MUSKEGON, MI - More than 100 people gathered on a cold Monday outside a Muskegon home to remember lives lost in a shooting over the weekend.

People crowded the streets at Jackson Ave. and McLaren St., blocking the road in all directions to hold two vigils next to each other in memory of Joshua Fondren Jr. and Cori Marie-May Watts.

“I knew he had a lot of love and support, but seeing it in person means so much more,” said Deborah Wyrick, Fondren Jr.’s mother.

The Jackson Hill neighborhood streets quickly filled with people, cars, music, candles and colorful balloons. People wore clothing with Watts’ and Fondren Jr.’s names and faces on them.

Fondren Jr. and Watts were killed on the afternoon of Dec. 6 in a shooting at 633 Jackson Avenue. 30
