Yesterday, community members from inside and outside San Jose, family and friends honored the memory of those killed in Wednesday's massacre: Paul de la Cruz Mejia, 42; Taptejdeep Singh, 36; Adrian Balleza, 29; Jose de Jesus Hernandez, 35; Timothy Michael Romo, 49; Michael Joseph Rudometkin, 40; Abdolvahab Alaghmandan, 63; Lars Kepler Lane, 63; and Alex Ward Fritch, 49.
On Wednesday, Samuel Cassidy, 57, turned his firearm on his co-workers at his workplace, a VTA transportation office in San Jose, California.
The massacre left, at the time, a balance of 8 dead; later, a ninth victim died while receiving hospital care. The perpetrator of the massacre took his own life after the attack.
On Thursday night, a vigil was held to commemorate the victims of the attack, attended by co-workers, residents, family and friends of the nine VTA workers.
