The funeral for Carlos Walker, a 40-year-old Atlanta rapper known as Shawty Lo, will be held at the same church that a few years ago hosted the funeral for Kriss Kross member Chris Kelly.

Walker died in a car accident on Wednesday after his 2016 Audi crashed through a guardrail on a ramp to Cascade Road off I-285. He died of "blunt force injury to the head," the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said Thursday. He is survived by 11 children.
