death inside her Bedford Park apartment last week.
Family and friends of Monica Akua say they are heartbroken, calling her a true light for the entire community.
Police found the 52-year-old woman stabbed to death
inside Tracey Towers last Thursday and her husband has since been charged with
her murder.
The vigil was coordinated by Warm NYC, a domestic
violence organization. They passed out educational
pamphlets to neighbors
warning them about the signs of domestic violence.
Akua was
from Ghana and lived in New York for more than two decades.
