The march, led by local police and Chantel’s grieving parents, brought together classmates, family members, and concerned citizens, all united in their grief and remembrance.

The atmosphere was charged with emotion as classmates performed dances and heartfelt renditions, while many attendees offered comfort to one another during this difficult time.
