HAMPTON, Va. - The funeral for 17-year-old Justice Dunham, the Woodside High School football player who was killed after a basketball game at Menchville High School on December 14, is scheduled to be held on December 22.

Friends and family held a candlelight vigil for Justice Thursday night.

Mike also told us there are plans for a Boys & Girls Club athletic area to be built in Justice's honor. Development of a website, called "JUSTICE4JUSTICE," is underway.

Additionally, family members are also asking for any donation that's made in his honor to go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula. They said they hope this money can help the organization to get a new football field or update a basketball court.
