Vigil honors 3-year-old killed in Baltimore hit-and-run, allegedly by teen in stolen car

A vigil was held Tuesday night for a 3-year-old girl killed in a hit-and-run crash in Baltimore last weekend.

Jordan Bright was struck Saturday afternoon on West Pratt Street. Police said the person who hit her was a 14-year-old boy who was driving a stolen car.

Police closed off a block in downtown Baltimore as hundreds of people came together to honor the little girl and her family.

Photos of Bright were displayed throughout the area as the community grieved, trying to come to terms with how a child was killed, allegedly by a driver who was legally too young to operate a vehicle.

"I just want Jordan to know that I'll always love her and we miss her, and we're never gonna forget her," one of her siblings said at the vigil.

Bright was described as a child who loved ice cream, "Moana," and, most of all, roller skating.

"My baby didn't get to perfect skating on one leg, and I knew by the time she was five she was gonna go pro," said the girl's mom, Nyjada Billy.

Bright balloons, stuffed animals, and candles were placed throughout the area off West Pratt Street as the community gathered in remembrance.

"I'm gonna just miss her being attached to me, I prayed so hard for that baby," said Billy, another attendee.

Carlos Doles witnessed the crash on Saturday and, although he didn't know the family, he drove them to the hospital after the 3-year-old was taken there by first responders.

"I did what anyone should have done or would have done as a human being and as a member of the community," said Doles. "That's the right thing to do, but that day is gonna stick with me forever."

Doles attended Jordan's vigil along with several first responders who were on scene that day, all gathered to ensure her memory lives on.
