CANTON, Ga. — WSB
Hundreds of people gathered in Canton Friday night to show support for the family of a 7-year-old sexually assaulted and murdered in her apartment complex.
After gathering in a local park for a candlelight vigil, the large group walked through downtown Canton to the funeral home where the family of Jorelys Rivera had gathered for a visitation. Funeral services for Rivera were set for First Baptist Church at 2 p.m. Saturday.The family greeted the crowd outside but then the victim's mother broke down crying, repeating in Spanish "Why? Why? My angel."
