Family and friends came together Wednesday night for a prayer vigil for a student at Chicago's Morgan Park High School who was shot and killed the night before.

Treyvon Winfield, 18, was near his car at 115th and Morgan streets around 8 p.m. Tuesday, when a man came up and started shooting.

He was taken to Roseland Community Hospital in a car riddled with bullets, and later died at the hospital.

On Wednesday night, community leaders called for justice.

"Friends desperately needed Treyvon. Family desperately needed him. The community desperately needed him. The future desperately needs him," said Pastor Donovan Price of Street Pastors.

Winfield's family said he was set to attend prom and graduate from Morgan Park High School in June.
