Five people were shot and killed last Thursday in northeast Raleigh by a 15-year-old suspect. The shooting began in the Hedingham neighborhood and then continued on the Neuse River greenway trail.
Many of the victims were killed while going about their everyday routines — heading to work, walking their dog, or going for a run. They ranged in ages from 16 to 52.
Below is a list of the victims, and details about services honoring them.
Nicole Connors
Connors' husband Tracey Howard is working to raise money to bury his wife in her home state of Ohio. As of Thursday morning, more than $23,000 had been raised via GoFundMe.

A four-time Boston Marathon finisher, Karnatz was an avid runner and mother of three boys. Runners across the country have honored her with the "#RunForSue" campaign — in which many of them are finishing the 1.9 miles that was left on her route when she was killed. A celebration of life service for her will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at North Raleigh Presbyterian Church. She was 49.
