About 100 people gathered Thursday night in San Lorenzo to remember a ministry student who was shot and killed early Saturday morning in Berkeley.
Pastor Ulysses Ve'e of the Samoan Congregational Christian Church in San Lorenzo led the candlelight vigil. Ve'e has known Mata'afa since he was in elementary school and was the one who encouraged him to follow his faith.
According to Berkeley police, Mata'afa was shot and killed on Telegraph Avenue early Saturday morning after getting into some kind of fight. Police have not released any other information about the circumstances surrounding the incident and have not named any suspects.
