LOS ANGELES - An emotional candlelight vigil was held Saturday night in San Bernardino County.
Community members gathered in Rialto to remember two sisters killed by a drunk driver.
"Justice for our baby girls," one sign read.
The two young girls, 3-year-old Alenia and 4-year-old Nevdeah Flores, were killed a week ago today when a speeding driver ran a red light at Riverside and Walnut and slammed into the family's white Honda Accord, which their mother 24-year-old Valencia Avilez was driving. Avilez's husband was also in the car but not injured.
