SAUKVILLE, Wis. — Dozens of community members gathered Monday evening in Saukville to honor Mailee Xiong Hang, who was killed three weeks ago when she was struck by a vehicle while loading groceries into her car at the local Walmart.
A prayer vigil took place in the same parking lot where the tragic incident occurred. Family members, friends and members of Hang's church came together to show support and call for justice.
"She was the heart of this family, the heart of the Hang family," a family member said during the vigil.
Hang's relatives described how she touched people's lives through her social media presence, particularly her Facebook posts that documented her family's growth and milestones.

"The reason why she had so many friends that are willing to show up from all over the world, the states, is because she was able to touch people through her beautiful photos by sharing the growth of her family," a family member said. "Her family was her legacy, and so we're here again to fight for her."
The incident occurred when Hang was putting groceries into her vehicle and was struck by a driver attempting to pull into a parking space.
The Ozaukee County District Attorney's office has received the case referral from the Saukville Police Department. Officials say no charging decision has been made and none is expected until blood test results are returned.
