A large crowd is anticipated Tuesday as 6-month-old Jonylah Watkins is laid to rest one week after she was fatally shot on Chicago’s South Side.
Jonylah’s March 11 shooting death has resonated citywide. At the infant’s wake on Monday, hundreds of people who did not know the young girl packed into a funeral home to pay their respects to Jonylah and her family, ABC Chicago reports.
Jonylah’s funeral is set to begin at 11 a.m. at New Beginnings Church, 6620 S. King Drive. As previously reported, Leak & Sons are donating their funeral services to the family.
Amid the mourning, a police investigation is ongoing to bring the 6-month-old’s killer to justice. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy addressed the media Monday and stated that “there’s no doubt in my mind” they will close the case.
