Rev. Malachi Walker (second from the right), director of Young Men’s Inc., leads a prayer vigil with family members of slain athlete Dominique Corder. Corder, a standout quarterback at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, Minn., and an Emmerich Manual High School graduate, was home from school visiting with relatives when the 20-year-old was shot outside of his grandmother’s home, Anna Hall, on New Year’s Day. According to Corder’s aunt, Sandra Washington, a vehicle was parked in front of the home, and when Corder asked the driver to move down the street, someone fired a shot to his abdomen. About 60 people attended the vigil, which was held outside of Corder’s grandmother’s home on West 27th St.
