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.
A 15-year-old girl from Latham is the latest victim of Albany gunfire. The Albany mayor and police chief talked about their plan of action, and said you're going to see an increased police presence.
