The Hunt Club Community Association reports that the vigil organized by the community’s city councillor will take place on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Paul Landry Park.
The park is the same site where 36-year-old Brkti Berhe was killed last week.

Deputy Chief Trish Ferguson told reporters Friday that Berhe, a mother of four, had been in the park with two of her children when the attack happened.
“Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries that morning in front of two of her children,” Ferguson said.
“Witnesses on scene quickly came to Brkti’s aid helping to protect the children and provide detailed description of the suspect who fled by car.”
