A 9-year-old boy died on Tuesday after being hit by an Orange County school bus, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Family, friends, and strangers gathered for a vigil on Wednesday night to remember Elyas Marshall-Rodriguez.

"This situation has been very hard to deal with, so to know that her child was loved by all the children in the neighborhood," said Trenae Gayle, Marshall-Rodriguez's cousin.

Easily more than 100 people were in attendance. Some classmates spoke. His football team was also there. The vigil was at the site of the memorial which marks the scene of the crash.
