A candlelight vigil was held in honor of a two-year-old Fayette County girl who died as a result of alleged abuse.
Margaret Nunn was known as “Maggie” in the Village of Searights apartment complex where she lived.
The community came together after the tragedy to pray and support each other.
One woman said Maggie was a sweet girl with a bright smile.
“I knew those little girls. I looked after them. They often played with my daughter. They were like family to us,” said Jessica McFadden.
Margaret’s mother, Cecilia Nunn, and her fiancé, Emmanuel Dennis, are charged in her death.
They are being held in the Fayette County Jail.
Organizers said they hope sharing Nunn’s story can help prevent similar incidents in the future.
“I just think her story needs to be told because this isn’t the first time this has happened to a child,” said organizer Aimee Tolnai. “Their lives should mean something.”
Tolnai encouraged people to follow one rule in the future.
“If you see something, say something,” Tolnai said.
