November 7, 2026 | Community Walk and Vigil Planned
A November 6 release announced this gathering. The source establishes the scheduled event and organizers; the advance release alone does not establish each person’s attendance.

Police announced an arrest. Family members spoke with their lawyer and advocates. The original FITF article is dated to that development.

Why the Dates Matter
The date an event happened and the date a report was published are kept separate. A family remembrance is not a court proceeding, and a news update does not create a new arrest date.
