At a public memorial on Wednesday, Heyer's parents remembered their daughter's passion for equality.

"All I remember is Heather's passion," said her father, Mark Heyer. "She wanted to put down hate. We just need to stop all this stuff and just forgive each other. I think that's what the Lord wants us to do."

Police also said they continue to investigate the "egregious assault" of DeAndre Harris. Viral photos and video show several men beating Harris with poles and sticks.
