Friends and family said goodbye Saturday to a college student who was shot and killed last month.
A funeral was held at Yonkers Central Church of God for 19-year-old Brandon Lawrence, a freshman at Iona College.
Lawrence was shot in Lincoln Park in New Rochelle. Stivinson Desir, also 19, has been charged in the case.
Officials say Lawrence was not involved in a fight that broke out at the park after a party the two attended. They say Lawrence was fatally shot after Desir pulled out a gun and fired three shots.
Desir has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
