Jacqueline Mitchell, the daughter-in-law of a recent crime victim, attended the celebration to say thank you.
"This hasn't been that long ago and we're still really suffering but we just wanted to say thank you so much for the diligence and all the hard work and the man power and especially for Crimestoppers," said Mitchell, "Crimestoppers I think is what ultimately lead to apprehension and the arrests of the two people that killed my father -in-law."
