Balloons, posters and candles were just some of the items family and friends of the beloved journalist brought along to remember Sierra.
Many came together to remember Sierra’s legacy and call for an end to gun violence. Sierra’s mother shared a few words Sunday night about her daughter.
"I am broken. I’m barely standing but for everyone standing here who knew my baby, yall need to do me a favor. She touched each and every one of you. Everybody here. You take my baby’s peace that she left with you and apply it to yourself," her mother said.
Family members spoke with News 3's Leondra Head and say Sierra was truly a light with a bright soul and future.
