Classmates Remember Mya Pena As A Friend To Everyone
Samuel Hoffman ended Mya Pena's life after picking her up from school, before turning a gun on himself.
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (CBS4)– The day after law enforcement revealed the tragic news that two teens were dead in a murder-suicide, classmates gathered to remember the victim, Mya Pena. The 17-year-old was remembered in a candlelight vigil on Thursday evening. Heartbreak and shock weigh heavy on Jaylen Bridges.
“I’m confused, I’m sad, I’m hurt,” he said. “I just don’t believe it.”
Jaylen knew Samuel Hoffman since the seventh grade. He just can’t comprehend why the 18-year-old so painfully ended what appeared like a great relationship with 17-year-old Mya Pena.
