OAKLAND, Calif. —

Services are set for a 1-year-old boy who died after being shot in the head following the filming of a rap music video in Oakland.

The funeral for Hiram Lawrence is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at the Acts Full Gospel Church in east Oakland.

Hiram was being held by his father outside a liquor store in west Oakland where a rap video was being filmed on Nov. 28 when gunfire erupted. Six other people were wounded, including Hiram's father, also named Hiram Lawrence.

Police have questioned five persons of interest in the case, but made no arrests.

Hiram's family decided to take him off of life support last week after multiple tests concluded he was brain dead. The boy would have turned 2 on Dec. 28.
