Vigils, from Ecuador to New York, remember slain immigrant

November

Newsday has a video from Gualaceo, Ecuador, where mourners gathered for a Mass remembering Marcelo Lucero, who was killed on Long Island in what prosecutors call a hate crime. The ceremony was held in front of the house that Lucero built for his mother.

Newsday’s coverage is compiled on this web page.

The slaying was remembered at a long-planned vigil in Rockland on Friday. Here are photos of Sister Cecilia La Pietra and Jim Ievolella standing on Route 59 in Nanuet.
