Two candlelight vigils are planned for Antonio Lamount Harper, Jr., 20, of Waldorf, also known as “A1 Lil Tony” or “Plug Son”.

A candlelight vigil will be held for Harper on Thursday in Waldorf, at 2265 Stream Vista Place and another one will take place Friday at Simp Circle, in Washington D.C.

Harper’s family said he began rapping about two years ago, and has always been known throughout the D.C. area for his infectious smile and personality.
