A candle light prayer vigil is being held to remember three Henrico children who died in an apartment fire earlier this month.
Jeremiah, age seven, two-year-old Shyla, and one-year-old Sage Gilliam, were asleep in their Highland Pointe apartment, along their mother’s fiancé, Shawn Ross, when unattended food on the stove caught fire.
The children and Ross were pulled out of the apartment by Henrico firefighters, but were unresponsive. All three children later died from their injuries. Ross is still hospitalized at VCU Medical Center.
