One year after the fatal shooting of NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia, the department will commemorate her life with a candlelight vigil and street renaming.

A candlight vigil is planned for Wednesday just before midnight in front of the 46th Precinct where she worked, according to the precinct’s Twitter account. Earlier Wednesday a tribute of blue balloons and sunflowers was set up outside the precinct.
