There is a new tribute to honor Sandra Cantu, the 8-year-old girl who was kidnapped and murdered earlier this year in Tracy.

City leaders and Sandra's family planted a tree in her name today.

The little girl's favorite color was pink, so a pink Crepe Myrtle was chosen. A plaque beneath the tree reads "In Remembrance of Sandra Cantu".

At the ceremony today, Sandra's mother thanked the community for their outpouring of support.

"It was great. Very, very....overwhelming for the community and wonderful," said Maria Chavez, Sandra's mother.

Cantu was kidnapped and killed in March. The suspect, Melissa Huckaby has plead not guilty.
