Funeral held for 10-year-old girl killed in accidental shooting along Government Street
BATON ROUGE — The funeral for 10-year-old Kimani Thomas, who was killed in an accidental shooting along Government Street, took place on Saturday at the Sainstville Church of God in Christ in Baton Rouge.
Thomas was killed on March 10 when her stepfather was going into work at Sonic and her mother was leaving her shift. While waiting in the car, a younger relative picked up a gun and accidentally shot Thomas, who was playing outside the car. She later died from her injuries.
Thomas' mother previously told WBRZ that Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy would be paying for the funeral.
