A walk this weekend will honor the life of a pregnant teen killed last year.
Tavia Sills was shot multiple times, her body dumped in a pond near Legardy Road.
Sills, a student at Southern University-Shreveport, was 18-years-old when she was killed. Her mother has organized the "Walk of Love." It starts at 6pm on Saturday evening and takes off from Linear Leadership Academy.
"Let's send a message out because love is what's missing in this city, that's why we have so much violence," says Sills' mother Vickie Britton.
Britton says she hopes to make the walk an annual event.
Lamondre Tucker, Sills' boyfriend, and Marcus Taylor face the death penalty if convicted in this case.
