Vigil held for 11-year-old who was shot and killed

LOS LUNAS, N.M.- The Dennis Chavez Elementary School parking lot was full of people grieving Friday night.

They were there to remember the life of 11-year-old Joseph Hobbs. He was killed Saturday. Police said he was not the intended targed of the shooting.

"Joseph, at 11 years old, was a nurturer, a caretaker, was a friend," said the school’s principal, Alicia Blaakman-Abney.

The mood was somber, many in disbelief that Joseph was gone.

"It’s just sad that he was young," said Evan, a 12-year-old. "Too young to die."

Three people have been arrested in connection to Joseph’s death.
