The funeral for a Minneapolis teenager Alisha Neeley will be held tomorrow at a north Minneapolis church.

The funeral comes a week after 17-year-old Alisha Neeley was shot dead outside of party. Minneapolis Police officials do not believe Neeley was the target of the shooting and are still looking for suspects.

Neely's father says the family chose to open the funeral to members of the public because his daughter had so many friends.

The funeral will be held at New Salem Baptist Church at 11 a.m. A march for peace led by MAD DADS begins at 10 a.m. at the Cub Foods on West Broadway.
