Funeral Held For Wilkinsburg Shooting Victim

WILKINSBURG (KDKA) ― Two hundred people gathered today to say goodbye to a 12 year old boy shot to death last week in Wilkinsburg.

The funeral for Kholen Germany was held at Deliverance Baptist Church in Wilkinsburg.

Germany was shot on Wood Street on Friday, and died early Saturday morning.

During the 90-minute service, the Rev. Oliver Harper encouraged the congregation to turn to god for support and strength.

Police arrested 19 year old Donald Wilson on Monday night in connection with the shooting.

He has not been charged with Germany's death though.
