Candlelight Vigil Oct. 17 Honoring the Four Souls Lost on PCH One Year Ago

On October 17, 2023, life in Malibu came to a halt. Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams - bright, promising seniors at Pepperdine University - were tragically killed when they were struck by a speeding motorist as they walked along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).

The shock and grief echoed through our community, leaving us heartbroken and determined to advocate for a safer PCH.

In their honor, the City of Malibu invites the community to a candlelight vigil and night of remembrance on Thursday, October 17, 2024, at 6:30 PM (ceremony begins at 7:00 PM) at the Ghost Tires Memorial, located at PCH at Webb Way (23661 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu).

Battery-operated candles will be provided to illuminate the night. A small ceremony will take place and include a moment of quiet reflection for all the lives lost on PCH. The event will focus on healing and supporting one another.
