A stray bullet fired into Morgan's bedroom struck and killed the child earlier this month.

The person who fired that shot in the Pecan Acres neighborhood has not yet been arrested.

"I don't even know how you sleep right now," K'Von's father Perry Morgan said about the shooter. "Turn yourself in."

Neighbors gathered at a vigil Tuesday to light candles and share memories.

"He loved to play that video game, he loved to dance," his father said.

At least one neighbor said the shooting has prompted her family to avoid sleeping near the windows.

"I hope people can change their lifestyle with the gun violence and raise their kids better," the neighbor said. "Teach them how to play football and basketball instead of playing with guns."

Community members interested in donating to the Morgan family can do so here.

Petersburg Police ask if you have any information in the shooting of K'Von Morgan to call Crime Solvers at 804-861-1212.
