Micah Tennant, 10, died after being shot at a high school football game in Pleasantville, New Jersey.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Funeral services will be held this weekend for a 10-year-old boy who died after being shot during a New Jersey high school football playoff game.

Micah Tennant's family says the service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at New Shiloh Baptist Church in Atlantic City.

The child was shot in the neck when gunfire erupted in the stands during a Nov. 15 game between Pleasantville and Camden. He died five days later, just hours before the game was resumed.

A GoFundMe set up on behalf of Tennant's family has raised more than $33,000 as of Monday.

A 15-year-old boy who was also injured was treated for a graze wound.
