RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Friends and family of Kenneth ‘Heavy’ Lawson laid him to rest Saturday afternoon after a packed funeral service.
More than 4000 people attended Lawson’s funeral service at the New Life Deliverance Tabernacle.
Lawson, a 37-year-old father of five, was shot and killed on Christmas Day after leaving Wing Bar in Shockoe Bottom.

“It was a chaotic scene,” said RPD Major Crimes Lieutenant Faith Flippo. “We need to sort out exactly what happened – before, during, and after the shooting. People who were there at the time need to speak to our detectives and not just to reporters.”
