RICHMOND, Va. – Family, friends, and loved ones are mourning the loss of a Huguenot High School senior killed in a car crash on Richmond’s Southside last weekend.
A vigil was held to honor Josie Cox at Canoe Run Park Sunday after the teen died in a crash in the 2200 block of Semmes Avenue on Saturday, Nov. 26.
Those who knew and loved Cox gathered to pray and share memories of the teen, whose family described her as "confident, feisty and special."
“One of the things I can say about the young lady is that she set the tone for other students and other people to really live by,” one man said.
A service for Cox will be held at the United Nations Church next week.
Police asked for tips in the case and said the wreck was being investigated by the department’s crash team.
No details concerning the circumstances of the crash were released.
