Vigil held for Chicago elementary school teacher who was shot and killed

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Loved ones and neighbors gathered Friday evening outside the Garfield Ridge neighborhood home of an elementary school teacher who was shot and killed earlier this week.

They held photos of 37-year-old Adrianna Lopez lit candles in her memory, prayed, and added to the growing memorial on her doorstep.

Lopez was described as someone you could count on – and a very happy soul.

Her ex-boyfriend, 37-year-old Cristobal Santana of Chicago, is charged in the shooting of an Illinois State Police trooper in Springfield.

This story has been corrected to clarify that Santana has only been charged in the shooting of an Illinois State Police trooper. No charges have been filed in Lopez's death.
