Today, more than 40 of her closest friends and family members came together to celebrate her life.

Her husband said it gives him strength to see his son play football and to have family and friends support them.

"We're doing the best we can, one day at a time. That's what we're doing, the best we can," he said. "Some days are good, and some, not so good. We try to get through each day because it is a process."

Annapolis Police arrested Angelo Harrod in connection with the shooting. He's being held without bond.
