Vigil to be held Friday for innocent bystander killed in Hamilton shooting

A vigil is being organized for the innocent bystander killed in a shooting in downtown Hamilton.

The vigil is set for Friday evening exactly one week after 26-year-old Belinda Sarkodie was shot while waiting for a bus at King and James streets.

Sarkodie came to Canada last year from Ghana and was working in Hamilton.

There’s a growing memorial for her at a bus shelter in the downtown core.

The Ghana association of Hamilton and others are organizing a vigil for Sarkodie on Friday from 5 p.m. until 6 p.m. at King and James Streets.

Organizers are also working to help her family in Ghana “navigate the situation in Hamilton”.

Police continue their search for the shooting suspect.

A 17-year-old male is wanted for second-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
