A vigil was held over the weekend for the Texas child who was found dead in an apartment nearly a year after cops say he was killed. The boy’s body was found after his siblings, who police say were abandoned, called authorities.
The Houston community came together Saturday to honor the life of 8-year-old Kendrick Lee, ABC 13 reported.
Members of the community spoke, placed photos, stuffed animals, and balloons, at the vigil outside the apartment complex where the boy had lived with his three siblings, local station KHOU reported.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Gloria Williams, 35, is charged with injury to a child by omission and tampering with evidence, a human corpse; failure to provide medical care and failure to provide adequate supervision, authorities said. Her boyfriend, Brian Coulter, 31, is charged with murder. Both could face more charges, Gonzalez added.
