Funeral held for Sgt. La David Johnson, soldier killed in Niger ambush
COOPER CITY, Fla. -- Sgt. La David Johnson will be laid to rest on Saturday as loved ones gathered for the fallen soldier's funeral in Cooper City, Florida.
Family members and friends of Johnson, who was 25, gathered at Christ The Rock Church on Saturday morning. A viewing was held on Friday at the church, CBS Miami reports.
Johnson died on Oct. 4 when his patrol was ambushed by about 50 extremists along the Niger border. Lawmakers have since demanded more information on the attack and some members of Congress have called for their own investigation.
He is survived by his wife Myeshia Johnson, who is six months pregnant, and two children.
