Candlelight vigil and march for Chris Chandler is tonight.

By Katana Dumont

Tonight there will be a candlelight vigil and march for Chris Chandler, the 34-year-old musician who was killed outside of the Goodfoot Lounge on Sunday, Sept. 27, by a hit-and-run driver. The organizers of the event hope to shed light on the insufficient safety standards near public venues.

Speed Bumps For Chandler, a website created to "implementing traffic calming devices near areas of public events," is hosting the vigil.

The Facebook event reads:

More information can be found at the Light Up and March For Chandler Facebook page. The march begins at 6:30 pm at Belmont Station. Marchers will be walking west down Stark Street and will culminate at the corner of SE 29th and Stark, where Chandler was hit.

There will also be a memorial service for Chris Chandler this Saturday, Oct 10 at TaborSpace (5441 SE Belmont St) from 2pm-5pm.
