MODESTO, Calif. - Family and friends were left mourning two teenage girls who were killed on a party bus in Oakland while celebrating a friend's 21st birthday while police hunted for at least two shooters who fired 70 bullets into the bus.
On Tuesday night, a small group of loved ones gathered outside 16-year-old Zoey Hughes' home in Stockton, launching balloons into the air. "Zoey was the sweetest," her mother Christina Hughes said. "She had the best heart, her smile, when she walks into a room, you, you fell in love with Zoey."SEE ALSO: Two teens killed, multiple victims shot on party bus in OaklandAlayasia Thurston, 19, of Stockton was also killed early Tuesday morning while she was riding the bus on Interstate Highway 580 near MacArthur.
