GRANDVIEW, Mo. - Family and friends of a Grandview infant remembered his short life Saturday night.
A vigil was held for 3-month-old Stephon McCoy, who was taken to a hospital Monday.
The baby's parents said he was being watched by a family friend, and was injured.
Thursday, McCoy was taken off life support.
His mother, Ashley Johnson, said she still cannot believe her infant has died.
"Something's missing. Somebody's missing. You can't go one day without thinking about him. Every time I close my eyes, I see him," Johnson said.
Grandview police are investigating the death, but have not yet released any details.
