A prayer vigil is planned for Friday night for eight members of a family killed in Pike County last week.

A vigil is planned for the eight family members killed in a shooting massacre in rural Ohio.

The Pray for Pike County vigil at the Pike County Fairgrounds is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday.

The Rhoden family members were found shot to death April 22 at four homes in the rural county about 85 miles south of Columbus.

Investigators remain tight-lipped about any suspects or a possible motive.

The funeral for victim Gary Rhoden was held Thursday in Kentucky.

The funeral for 20-year-old Hannah Gilley is scheduled for Saturday in Otway, Ohio. She was the fiancee of victim Clarence "Frankie" Rhoden.

A funeral for Frankie Rhoden, his parents and two siblings will be held Tuesday in West Portsmouth.
