Since LSU student Allie Rice was killed inside her car on September 16th, her aunt and godmother Susie Rice said family members have received an overwhelming amount of support. She said the support is both emotional and financial with donations for reward money and funeral expenses.
“As many negative comments and things you hear about the town of Baton Rouge but look at us, we come together when we need to,” said Rice.
On Thursday there will be a candlelight vigil at the LSU Greek amphitheater and on October 6th Walk-Ons in Gonzales is hosting a fundraiser for funeral expenses. Rice said the community has truly rallied to show their love and appreciation for Allie and her family.
“Walk-Ons is fantastic, and their Giveback Night, I hope it’s tremendous,” said Rice.
At both events, friends and family members are distributing yellow bracelets that say Live like Allie. Rice said they want to honor her memory and hope continued awareness will bring about justice for Allie also.
“We just want to keep her in the news until we can find out who did this,” said Rice.
