ALBANY — When the city's violence steals another life, grieving families often turn to the Rev. Avery Comithier.
The funeral for Shanita Thomas, 32, killed in a January shooting on Central Avenue, was held at Comithier's Elijah Missionary Church. The funeral for 18-year-old Chyna Forney, killed earlier this month, also happened there.
On Saturday, the church will host those mourning LaShon Turner, a 39-year-old shot and killed Friday near where Central meets Henry Johnson Boulevard.
And just a few days after, the funeral for 15-year-old Destiny Greene, who died Monday when men opened fire on a parked car in which she sat, will be held at the church in the city's South End.
