Candlelight Vigil Held To Honor EMT Killed A Year Ago After Being Run Over By Carjacked Ambulance

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - A candlelight vigil was held Friday to celebrate the life of EMT Yadira Arroyo.

Arroyo was killed a year ago when police say a man ran her over after carjacking her ambulance in the Bronx.

Arroyo, a 14-year-veteran and mother of five, was the eighth member of the FDNY's EMT unit to be killed in the line of duty.

Jose Gonzalez is charged with murder in the case and is awaiting trial.
