Family members say Leterious Jackson was shot in the head. He died at the hospital on Wednesday night.

"We need you Lord. We need you to lift our spirits, keep our spirits high. Heal us. Heal us through this tragedy," a woman said at a vigil held in Jackson's honor on Thursday evening.

Police say the men were shot as they were leaving a house party in the area.
