The funeral for Fletcher Merkel, the 8-year-old boy killed in the Aug. 27 mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church, will be held Sunday at a Minneapolis church.

The service, which is open to the public and will be livestreamed , begins at 4 p.m. at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church following a 2 p.m. visitation. Attendees are asked to wear bright colors to honor Fletcher, who an obituary said was “always in motion, dancing with every touchdown he scored in flag football, or playing basketball in the driveway with his older brother and neighborhood friends.”

A celebration of life for Harper Moyski, the 10-year-old girl who was also killed in the shooting, will be held Sept. 14 at 12 p.m. at the Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapo
