The state funeral is scheduled to take place early Monday morning.

The 17 year old, one of D.C.’s 123 homicide victims this year, was killed in a shooting at a block party on Aug. 9.

During last week’s memorial service for Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown, D.C. Council Chair Kwame Brown told newcomers to D.C. who don’t get go-go to “get over it.” What did he mean?

The public memorial for Chuck Brown, the Godfather of Go-Go, is beginning at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton wants August 22 to be known as “Chuck Brown Day.”

Chuck Brown’s body will go on public display next Tuesday at the Howard Theatre, with a public memorial service to follow next Thursday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the District and Brown’s family announced.

A viewing for Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown will take place on Tuesday, May 29 at the Howard Theatre and a funeral at a larger venue will happen on Thursday, May 31.

A public memorial for Chuck Brown is still being planned and will likely be held sometime next week, according to a note from Brown’s manager.

Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown will likely have a huge sendoff when his funeral is held, and D.C. is preparing accordingly: Mayor Vince Gray said today during an interview on NewsTalk with Bruce DePuyt that flags would be flown at half-staff during the event.

Several major roads in Northern Virginia and D.C. will be closed later this afternoon to allow room for a funeral procession for late Metropolitan Police Officer Paul Dittamo. Dittamo, who was 33 and joined the force in June 2009, was the first D.C. police officer to die in the line of duty since 2007 when a car he was driving crashed into a utility pole on October 30.
