"As a neighborhood, we didn't know Nate. We didn't know much about him as far as who he was, so we were just in shock and devastated and just - still can't believe it. Still can't believe that there's nothing, like we're just left empty wondering what's going on," said Heather Arangelovich.

Arangelovich lives a few doors down from Summerfield's home and said she went to high school with Lynn Jackenheimer. Arangelovich a several others gathered to hang the purple ribbons throughout their block on Dorchester Street.
