The visitation and funeral for Wayde Sims, the LSU basketball player who was shot and killed early Friday (Sept. 28) morning, have been scheduled.
Visitation for the 20-year-old junior forward from Baton Rouge will be at 9 a.m. on Oct. 6 at Healing Place Church, 19202 Highland Road, Baton Rouge. The funeral will follow and begin at noon, also at Healing Place Church.
This announcement comes shortly after Baton Rouge police arrested Dyteon Simpson on Saturday (Sept. 29) in connection with Sims' death. Police said they charged Simpson with second-degree murder after DNA evidence found on his glasses, left at the scene, connected him to the crime.
