Family & Classmates Grieve at the Funeral of Boy, 10, Who Was Killed Days before His Graduation

Family and friends in Queens Borough paid a final farewell to a preteen boy who lost his life during a domestic altercation among adults in the neighborhood.

Justin Wallace was a preteen boy who was to graduate into middle school, but that dream would never be actualized. Justin's life was cut short during a domestic issue that quickly aggravated.

The youngster was said to have had a fun-filled day at the beach and was also at a family barbecue. He and his 29-year-old uncle witnessed an altercation over parking spaces among some neighbors.

While the youngster and his uncle were around their home in Far Rockaway, the pair was shot. Wallace's uncle took bullets to one of his shoulders, and the little boy took the hit to his stomach.

Wallace was shot in his torso as the bullet hit his left lung and his heart. He and his uncle were taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The uncle survived the ordeal.

Officers were alerted to the situation, and so far, investigations have led to the arrest of Jovan Young. He was apprehended three days after the incident on the day of Wallace's 11th birthday.

The Police's account of the incident stated that the gunman drove up to Wallace's home and pulled the trigger, firing at him and his uncle. The Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has since weighed in on the issue.
