\"Reyna<\/a>LANCASTER – Dozens showed up for the candlelight vigil held for Reyna Gutierrez<\/strong>, the young woman shot and killed inside the Smoke Shack in Lancaster. Those attending were close friends and family, remembering the life of the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n

“I don’t even know what to say,” said Beth K., a close friend of Gutierrez. “Her soul will forever stay with us.”<\/p>\n

The emotional vigil was held at 6 p.m. at the Eastside Marketplace on Avenue J and Division Street. Attendees held candles, and many shared memories of Gutierrez after a brief moment of silence. Pictures and numerous candles were set up outside of the Smoke Shack.<\/p>\n

\"Reyna<\/a>Rieanna E. of Lancaster explained, “She definitely wouldn’t want all of us to be crying. She would laugh and tell us to stop.”<\/p>\n

Gutierrez was shot in the chest on Sunday, Jan. 27 inside the Smoke Shack, while cleaning in the back room. According to sheriff officials, Samy Mahmoud<\/strong> claims he was handling the store owner’s shotgun when it fell and discharged. Surveillance cameras did not capture the incident. Mahmoud was charged with Reyna’s murder on Jan. 30.<\/p>\n

“There would be no way this was intentional,” expressed close friend Christina R. “She was a really great person and was always smiling.”<\/p>\n

Donations are appreciated to help cover the cost of Reyna’s funeral.<\/p>\n

\"Reyna<\/a>“You don’t know what tomorrow will bring,” said Joanne. “Cherish life because you don’t know how much time you have left. All you have is right now.” <\/b><\/p>\n
