According to reports, a funeral service at New Shiloh Baptist church for Gray filled quickly with mourners early Monday (April 27).
A small group of mourners started lining up about two hours ahead of Monday’s funeral. As they began filing into the church, the white casket with Gray’s body was opened, flanked by floral arrangements. A rope was placed in front of the casket to prevent people from getting too close. One person used a cellphone to take a photo of the body. (Huffington Post)

Reports claimed police and youth clashed in Baltimore following the funeral.
Protesters and police converged on Mondawmin Mall in northwest Baltimore early Monday afternoon. People are throwing bottles, rocks and bricks, as demonstrations have spread to other areas. Several police officers have been injured by the projectiles, and protesters ‒ teens since joined by adult residents ‒ have refused to listen to law enforcement and disperse. (RT)

Local police announced gangs were uniting to go against them.
A police statement said: “The Criminal Intelligence Unit received credible information that members of various gangs including the Black Guerilla Family, Bloods, and Crips have entered into a partnership to ‘take out’ law enforcement officers.” (WBAL TV)
