Georgia Muslims hosted an interfaith candlelight vigil Sunday night in Centennial Olympic Park to remember the victims of an unsolved murder in Indiana.

Two weeks ago, police officers found the bodies of Mohamedtaha Omar, 23, Adam Mekki, 20, and Muhannad Tairab, 17, in a house in Fort Wayne. Each man had been shot multiple times, “execution style.” Two of the victims were Muslims. One was a Christian. All three came to the U.S. as refugees in the early 2000s, hoping to escape violence in their home country, Sudan.

Mourners in Atlanta gathered Sunday to honor the lives lost, pray for the victims and their families, and show solidarity across religious and cultural backgrounds.

Reverend Corey Brown, Imam Muhammad Mendes, priest Praful Desai, CAIR Georgia leader Edward Ahmed Mitchell and educator Hassan Faye spoke to the crowd about the importance of building and maintaining ties, despite our individual differences, in order to better our communities, our country and our world.

A LaunchGood campaign has started to help support the families of the victims as well as to build a community center so that the youth in their community have a safe place to gather.
