About 500 people gathered for a peaceful vigil and march on Sunday to commemorate the police shooting death of a Montreal teenager that sparked a night of rioting in a north-end neighbourhood last year.
The march went through Montreal North before stopping by the Henri-Bourassa park where 18-year-old Fredy Villanueva was shot Aug. 9, 2008, after police confronted him and his friends, who were playing dice.
