PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - A benefit concert was held Thursday night for the family of a woman killed in a triple-homicide in Providence.

More than a dozen performers took the stage at  The Spot Underground on Elbow Street.

Proceeds will go to the siblings and children of Shemeeka Barros.

Barros was one of three people gunned down inside a Providence apartment in July.

Two teenagers are now charged with their murders.
