'We Are Michele's Voice'
Hundreds of supporters turn out for candlelight vigil at Centennial Park in Oak Lawn to remember Michele Peters, who died from a gunshot wound in Chicago Heights.
Hundreds gathered in an Oak Lawn park on Good Friday evening to honor the memory of a young mother who liked to plan elaborate Easter egg hunts for her two young sons. Michelle Peters, 30, was remembered at a candlelight vigil in Centennial Park one month after police found her fatally shot in the face in the Chicago Heights home that she shared with her boyfriend and the father of her boys, Georgie, 7, and Alex, 15 months. Neighbors said they heard arguing and a gunshot coming from the house the night of the shooting on March 6.
