Candlelight vigil held for Staten Island mom, 43, slain outside apartment complex

New York’s Staten Island. In honor of Jennira Roundtree, a 43-year-old mother of four and grandmother of one, who was fatally stabbed during a fight close to her home on Tuesday night, dozens of friends, family, and community members gathered in West Brighton on Wednesday to observe a candlelight vigil.

Many in attendance lit votive candles in Roundtree’s memory, and during the very cold, somber gathering in front of 820 Henderson Ave., shoulders were sobbed on and hugs were exchanged.
