A 13-year-old Jacksonville boy gunned down in a drive-by shooting a week ago was laid to rest amid an outpouring of grief from family, friends, neighbors and classmates on Saturday.
The Ribault Middle School student known for being at church every Sunday and for his love of football — especially the Kansas City Chiefs — is among a total of at least 153 homicides in the city since Jan. 1.No arrests had been reported in the Dec. 3 drive-by shooting by the time the funeral for Prince began Saturday afternoon at Zion Hope Missionary Baptist Church.
Amid an outpouring of grief, Prince was remembered Saturday as a “protector and mentor” to his friends who he brought to church with him as well as inspired to get into sports instead of drugs and gangs. His mother, Chantel Brown, was overcome and began to weep and struggled to sing the gospel song “I Just Can’t Give Up Now” and then was helped back to her seat by her children.
