SURREY (NEWS1130) - Jamie Kehoe's family is thanking the hundreds of supporters who gathered at 72nd and 128th Street in Surrey for a candlelight vigil last night.
The teen's father, Jason Kehoe, who organized the gathering on Facebook after his son died over the weekend, is grateful so many people showed up. "It helps me get through it, it helps my family get through it, to know that we're not in this alone."
The mourning father says his son definitely did not die the way he lived.
"Probably the best way to put it is if everybody kid here treated everybody the way Jamie treated them, we wouldn't have this kind of stuff happening," he says.
Last night, there were expressions of anger and desperate grief as family, friends, and strangers came together.
"It's senseless," says one man. "There's no need for this."
"I can't even imagine [what his parents] are going through," a woman tells us.
Jamie was stabbed during a fight on a transit bus early Saturday morning; witnesses have described him as an innocent bystander. Police are looking for a black man, around 6'2" tall, who was also hurt in the incident. He was last seen leaving the bus with a woman that night.
If you were on the bus or have any information you are asked to call the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. |
