LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A crowd of people gathered Sunday in front of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, united in their call for justice for a young woman killed in Las Vegas.

26-year-old Tabatha Tozzi was shot and killed on April 22 in the northwest Las Vegas Valley. Six months later, her family are still searching for answers.

Tozzi's mother, Regina Lacerda, addressed those gathered outside the police department on Sunday.

"I know that the justice is not going to bring my daughter to me, but I need to do this," Lacerda said. "I'm going to end with this: I'm going to fight until my last breath. I'm going to be here, fighting for justice."
