Rochester, N.Y. -- Family and friends gathered Sunday to remember a man shot to death last week.

They held a candlelight vigil for Robert Vinson. He and his brother, Devon, were shot on Saxton Street on Tuesday.

Robert died that night. Devon is still recovering at Strong Memorial Hospital.

Their firends and community members say the violence needs to stop.

"It's going to get better, it's got to get better," Rev. Britt Pledger said. "The city has to do something. We have to do something that changes the atmosphere."

Robert Vinson's funeral is scheduled for Wednesday.

Police are still looking for suspects in the shooting. If you have any information that could help police, you're asked to call CrimeStoppers at 423-9300.
