A memorial service for a slain man turned deadly Saturday as gunfire erupted at a Montgomery County cemetery, killing one man and leaving another seriously injured, Montgomery County authorities said.
Investigators believe a large group of people had gathered about 3 p.m. at a grave site to celebrate the birthday of 19-year-old Tyreek Fairel, who was fatally shot in Norristown in 2013 and buried at the Whitemarsh Memorial Park, on Limekiln Pike in Ambler.
Gunfire broke out within the group with more than 30 shots fired, police said, leaving one man — Daniel Elijah Hawkins, 29 — dead and injuring Arian Davis, 33. Both men are from Philadelphia.
