Friends and neighbors of Virginia Ortiz gathered on High Street Tuesday evening by the house where she and her children were fatally injured in a pre-dawn fire Saturday morning.

Three-year-old Ameeya Nelson died earlier in the day, the third person to lose their life after suffering severe burns in the fire. Six-year-old Willie Nelson Jr. and Ortiz also died hours after Ortiz and both children were pulled from the burning house by Rochester firefighters.

Rochester Fire Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire.
