17-year-old Xavier Gonzalez was laid to rest at Garland Memorial Park where his mother and other relatives released white doves in his memory.

Later, also at Garland Memorial Park, 16-year-old Ivan Noyala was buried in a moving ceremony where family and friends gathered at his graveside to release blue and white balloons.

The funeral for 17-year-old Rafael Garcia is scheduled for next Wednesday.

The suspected killer remains on the run. Normally, police would not release the name and photo of a 14-year-old but police got a court order to do so because of fear that Abel Acosta remains armed-and-dangerous and poses a clear threat to the community.
