Candlelight Vigil For Elijah McClain Planned For Saturday At Aurora's Utah Park

(CBS4) -- On Saturday, Elijah McClain's mother is expected to join a candlelight vigil with the goal of being visible from the heavens. "We Shall Overcome" says they will be at Utah Park in Aurora off Peoria and Jewell at 5 p.m.

The group is inviting the community to join them -- with white flowers, candles, or any artwork to add to the vigil.

They are planning to have hundreds of attendants spell out "Elijah" with candlelight.

The 23-year-old unarmed Black man died last August, after a confrontation with Aurora police.
