Agent Rosas' cousin and his family attended.

UPLAND - A candlelight vigil was held Friday outside City Hall to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the death of a fallen border patrol agent.

Agent Robert Rosas, 30, was shot and killed on July 23, 2009 by a group Mexican citizens illegally crossing the border near Campo.

Claremont-based anti-illegal immigration group, We The People, California's Crusader, organized the vigil.

The group passed a card for Rosas' wife and two young children.

"We're keeping his memory alive," said Robin Hvidston, member of We The People. "He didn't give his live in vain. We the American public, the people, appreciate that he paid the ultimate sacrifice, the giving of his life."

Rosas was shot multiple times in the back of the head after investigating suspicious activity along the border.
