Hundreds attend vigil for 15-year-old shot, killed in Queens park

ST. ALBANS, Queens (WABC) -- A large prayer vigil was held on Monday for a 15-year-old boy who was killed in a park in Queens.

15-year-old Jaden Pierre was killed last Thursday after he was shot in Roy Wilkins Park in Saint Albans.

Police are still looking for the shooter and investigating a motive.

Last week, hundreds of teens gathered at the park for what they thought was a massive water balloon fight, instead it turned into a violent attack followed by a single shot fired into Pierre's chest.

Police have released images of the suspected gunman.

Investigators believe the shooting may be gang-related.
