A candlelight vigil was held in Regent Park Saturday afternoon to remember the father and son killed in a shooting earlier this week.

The family of the victims and members of the Congolese community gathered at Dundas Street East and Arnold Avenue and lit candles and placed flowers for John Ngoyi Kongolo and Denzel Didier Kongolo.

Meanwhile, Donovan Kongolo said his father, John, was always there for anyone who needed help and was loved by the community."He loved his kids with all his heart and would give anything for them. I know that this situation is very unfortunate, but through it all, I know that my dad has a big heart for all of his kids, even the one who unfortunately caused this situation."

"As I grew up here, I knew the tight-knit community that we have. So, this just goes to show how everyone loves each other over here, and everyone's always there for each other," he said. At the vigil, the family asked the public not to speculate about what exactly transpired during the incident.
