Monday's vigil is just one of many that have been happening since the tragedy.
On Thanksgiving, a crowd of people gathered around a makeshift memorial in front of the Walmart where the shooting took place. People could be seen hugging and consoling each other.
Multiple law enforcement agencies are working together to figure out what led up to the shooting.
Meanwhile, the city said two people who were hurt in the shooting remained in the hospital on Thanksgiving night. One person was in critical condition and the other person was in fair/improving condition.
