Funeral is interrupted by alleged gang members.
May 14, 1992
The service for Robert Odom, 20, a recent murder victim, is held at the Morningstar Baptist Church. It is interrupted when a group of young men wearing hooded sweatshirts attack one of the mourners and stab him. Outrage over the attack prompts formation of a new anti-violence group by clergy two days later.*
