Funeral set for rapper Shawty Lo in Atlanta church
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.
Johnnie Cabbell, Walker’s manager, said the funeral is planned for noon Oct. 1 at Jackson Memorial Baptist Church, 534 Fairburn Road N.W. Like Kelly’s service was, the memorial for Walker will be open to the public.
