OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) – Dozens of friends and family members gathered Tuesday night in Gifford Park for a vigil to remember Tori Kreitler, 19.

The vigil was held at the home where Kreitler once lived, near 35th and Davenport. Attendees lit candles, listened to music, and shared stories about her. The yard was filled with purple ribbon signs bearing her name.

Police were called to Kreitler's home for a welfare check last Friday. Investigators say her boyfriend shot her before turning the gun on himself.
