Family and friends of a 15-year-girl killed in a hit and run accident gathered once again for a candle light vigil. The vigil was held Tuesday night for Tiani Philpot at Marks and Emerson in Fresno, where the teen's body was found Sunday night.

The family says they'll continue holding vigils until they get closure. Meantime, authorities say they now believe the vehicle involved in the crash is a 1999-2005 Mitsubishi eclipse. They still haven't found the car or the driver.

Anyone with information on the hit and run death of Tiani Philpot is urged to call CrimeStoppers at 498-STOP.
