Police confirmed on Tuesday night that the four-year-old died as a result of blunt force trauma to the body, which resulted in multiple fractures.

Those who knew the little girl or were moved by the tragedy gathered outside her home in Major’s Subdivision last night.

Over on Grand Bahama, dozens of residents marched from Coral Road to Independence Park, demanding justice for Bella.

Following the tragedy that has sparked national outrage, Pastor Robert Lockhart says they felt compelled to come out and make their voices heard.

Residents of all ages wore pink in Bella’s honor and demanded that something be done to ensure this never happens to another child.
