On Saturday, June 21, family members, arabbers, and other members of the community said goodbye to Bilal “BJ” Abdullah with a horse-drawn funeral procession. A funeral service was held at Upton’s Masjid Ul Haqq mosque. 

Abdullah, 36, was fatally shot by Baltimore Police Department officers last week. Community members held a march on Friday to remember him.
