ATLANTA – One of the two children gunned down on 17th Street near Atlantic Station will be laid to rest Saturday afternoon.
The funeral for 12-year-old Zyion Charles, who died after a shooting three weeks ago, will be at 1 p.m. at The First Iconium Baptist Church on Moreland Avenue in southeast Atlanta.
After the service, there are plans for a march for Zyion. It will start at 3 p.m. at the Olympic Rings at Capitol Avenue and end outside the Liberty Plaza Gate.
“It’s not fair. It was a whole, now it’s a half,” the boy’s twin sister Zyrhia said. “I don’t have him no more.”

Zyion Charles’ family attended a city hall meeting to talk about their loss and also sought answers to the kind of violence plaguing the city.
The boy’s mother said her son was caught up with people she described as bad influences who committed crimes such as car break-ins.
She told council members she had asked a police officer to place her son into custody 7 days before the shooting, but was told juvenile authorities would not keep him due to its point formula for detention. She also said she reached out to Atlanta Police multiple times about her son.
