MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Family and friends gathered Friday night to remember the life of a Minneapolis mother, who was killed on Thanksgiving.
Raven Gant, 27, was shot and killed in front of her two-year-old daughter, according to police. Randall Watkins, 41, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to the incident.
