Vigil for homicide victim Erika KingAbout 75 people huddled along Boas Street in Harrisburg Thursday night to honor Erika King with a candlelight vigil and balloon launch.
The vigil honored King, a fun-loving, kind yet quick-tempered mother of two.

Her long-time boyfriend Brian McCullough was charged with homicide the next day.
King’s first husband, Antjuan King, who attended the vigil, said people like his ex-wife shouldn’t have to experience domestic violence.
