A vigil was planned for the victims of the Duluth murder-suicide

Community members in Duluth have planned a candlelight vigil to honor the victims of a murder-suicide that occurred last week.

Police say 46-year-old Anthony Nephew shot and killed his ex, Erin Abramson, 47, and his son Jacob, 15. Nephew then went to another home and killed his wife, 45-year-old Kathryn (Ramsland) Nephew, and their 7-year-old son, Oliver, before killing himself.

The vigil will begin at 6 p.m. at 4401 West 6th Street – the home of Kathryn Ramsland and Anthony and Oliver Nephew.

The vigil participants will then walk to Erin Abramson and Jacob’s home, which is located in the 6000 block of Tacony Street.

There will also be a memorial run, walk or bike ride in honor of Erin and Jacob on November 29. More information about this event can be found at a GoFundMe.
