The Rt. Rev. Charles Jenkins, bishop of Louisiana has issued a plea for donations to help with funeral expenses for 6-year-old Four Overstreet, one of the victims in last weekend's triple homicide in Terrytown according to NOLA.com.

In a Thursday letter, Bishop Charles Jenkins said that young Four "is not just another name but was known to us through his participation in sports programs we helped get going.
...
Jenkins asked that ... that checks be made payable to Professional Funeral Home or taken to the funeral home at 1620 Elysian Fields, New Orleans.
