A family in New Orleans honored their deceased son in a unique way at his funeral.
Renard Matthews, 18, was fatally shot two weeks ago.
His family set his body up in a funeral home sitting upright in a chair in front of a TV.
He was wearing a Boston Celtics jersey, his favorite basketball team, with the game on TV.
Matthews' family also made sure he was surrounded by his favorite snack foods and had a video game controller in his hands.
