Family and friends held a vigil Saturday night to honor the Navy man who was shot and killed on the I-15.
Curtis Adams died in the early hours on October 27 when he pulled over to help a driver he thought was in trouble. The driver then shot him in what appeared to be a robbery.
The vigil was held Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Breakers Beach on Naval Air Station North Island.
Adams’ fellow servicemembers and loved ones lit candles at sunset for him.
They also sent light-up balloons into the night sky, which were easily seen from shore.
This comes a week after Adams’ former host mom spoke with NBC 7 about his “heart of gold.”

The shooting suspect, Brandon Acuna, was arrested the day after the incident.
Acuna was believed to have been involved in another shooting just minutes before the one with Adams, according to the San Diego Police Department.
He pleaded not guilty on Halloween.
The California Highway Patrol recommends to call local police if you see a stranded driver and to not pull over.
