There's a candlelight vigil Thursday night for a Stover toddler who was killed last week.

Police said 3-year old Blake Litton was beaten by his mother's boyfriend.

Jamie Miller Litton and Thomas Presley are being held for the death of Blake.

The two will have to submit to drug and alcohol tests.

Litton and Presley both face second-degree murder charges.

Litton also faces two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, after her daughter also showed signs of abuse.

Blake died last week.

The woman's boyfriend originally told police the child was killed in a hit-and-run accident.

He later confessed to beating the boy.

Thursday night’s candlelight vigil for Blake begins at 5 p.m.

 Organizers said they'll walk from the Morgan County R-1 school to the Stover Park.
