SACRAMENTO, Calif. Hundreds of mourners gathered in Californias capital on Thursday, to honor the life of 22-year-old Stephon Clark an unarmed black man shot and killed by police.

Long before the funeral was set to begin, mourners had already lined up down the block of the Bayside of South Sacramento Church. Some of the attendees had driven hours to attend the funeral. Many of those in line were Muslim, coming to pay their respects to a fellow member of their religious community.

In a funeral program , Clark was described as a young man who loved sports, had a great sense of humor and was the life of the party.
