Emotional friends and family of Roy Thomas as well as community activists and leaders gathered at Sherman Park on Saturday for a vigil to honor and remember the teen's life. Thomas, known by his friends as Kash, was shot and killed at the Sherman Park basketball court on Thursday. He was just 17-years-old. A gofundme has been set up to help Thomas' family. "He was ready to go to college. He was a loving son, brother. He was positive, always encouraging. He wanted something out of life," said one of Thomas' family members Maria Hamilton. Hamilton lost her own son, Dontre, in an officer involved shooting in 2014.
