STOCKTON — The Stockton community is remembering Misty Holt-Singh, who was killed nine years ago Sunday in a crime that left the city heartbroken.

The Holt-Singh family held its annual candle-lighting ceremony at her memorial.

Misty died during a rolling gunfight between police and Bank of the West armed robbers who took her hostage. Ten police bullets hit Misty, who was being used as a shield by the suspects in their getaway car.

The 41-year-old was a mother of two.

An annual golf tournament in her honor is set for August 4 with all proceeds going to "victims of violent crimes."
