Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Funeral services for a slain 15-year-old Georgia teen will be held this weekend at his family’s church. A home invasion which led to Nicholas Jackson’s death happened last Thursday night. Six suspects have been arrested and charged with murder. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

The funeral will be held Saturday for the Norcross High School football player who was killed last week during a home invasion.

Nicholas Jackson’s funeral will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, the Norcross church connected to the Christian school Jackson attended for three years before transferring to Norcross High.

A wake for Jackson will be held at 7 p.m. Friday at Donald Trimble Mortuary in Decatur.

Jackson was shot once in the chest Thursday night after six men broke into his family’s home on Autry Street – just around the corner from the church where friends and family will gather on Saturday to say goodbye to the 15-year-old.
