The Akron Beacon Journal reports that about 40 people came together Sunday night to remember Jamarcus Allen near the spot where he was killed.

Authorities say Jamarcus was riding in a car driven by his father Wednesday when he apparently found a gun and shot himself in the head.

The child's father, Terrence Allen, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, child endangering and illegal weapons possession because a previous felony conviction prohibited him from carrying a firearm.

The 48-year-old Allen is being held in the Summit County Jail.

Some people attending the vigil said they hoped people would get rid of their guns.
