Ministers hold prayer vigil for shot teens

By ABC7
February 3, 2012 (CHICAGO) Some Baptist ministers are holding an all-night prayer vigil outside a South Side restaurant where two teens were shot and killed in December.

The pastors are with the Illinois Missionary Baptist State Convention. They are outside the Church's Chicken near 66th & Halsted in Englewood.

They say their vigil is meant to demonstrate their care and hope for the city's youth.

In addition to the two victims who died in the shooting five others were injured.

Prosecutors have charged a 23-year-old Chicago man with the murders.
