GALVESTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The FBI and the community of Galveston are still asking for help identifying a little boy found along the Galveston shoreline in Oct. 2017.

On Sunday night, dozens gathered to Honor "Little Jacob" at a vigil held on the Galveston seawall.

Community members wanted to honor the boy's life as they wait for justice in his death.
