ATLANTA — The community held a candlelight vigil Friday night to honor the life of T’Rhigi Diggs.

His family's plea for justice, on Channel 2 Action News Saturday AM. 

Channel 2's Justin Wilfon spoke with the child's mother, who said she is devastated by her son's death and is now demanding answers about what happened to him.

“T’Rhigi didn’t do nothing. He’d only been 3 for two days,” relative Mandra Perine told Wilfon.

The raindrops that fell Friday night were met with teardrops as dozens gathered to remember the 3-year-old, who was shot and killed on Easter Sunday.

DeKalb County police said someone shot the boy near a gas station at Bouldercrest and Eastland roads in southeast Atlanta.

The boy was in his mother’s car when a bullet struck him. The family desperately wants to know who fired it and why.
