Slain Football Star Remembered At Dual Vigils

(CBS) -- Family, teammates, and friends in two states on Thursday remembered a former Simeon football player who was slain last week.

Demarius Reed was a starter for Eastern Michigan University. His body was found in his off-campus last Friday.

His murder is unsolved.

CBS 2's Brad Edwards reports from Gately Stadium, where Reed was remembered in a special ceremony.

Meanwhile, in Ypsilanti, Mich., a rally was held. Reed's mom attended.

Robbery is still eyed as a potential motive. The reward to solve the crime has been increased to $10,000.
