By . Emily Kent Smith . Friends and family said goodbye to Johran McCormick on Monday, while wearing bow ties and singing along to the tune of American gospel song When the Saints Go Marching In. They said they had chosen to dress up in bow dies because Johran liked wearing them. In the sky above the church, multi-colored balloons soared in his memory. The 17-year-old, from Spring near Houston, Texas, was shot dead on Sunday when an unidentified father found the boy in his 16-year-old daughter's room. Gone too soon: Johran McCormick, 17, was shot dead early Thursday morning after sneaking in to the house of a 16-year-old girl. His sorrowful mother Zakia says she expects the girl's father to call her and apologize .

A grand jury will now decide whether any charges will be filed against the Texas father who fired one fatal shot at a 17-year-old boy he found in his teenage daughter's bedroom early Thursday morning.

'I feel terrible that that had to happen to him,' she said. Others expressed their views on the father who fired the shot with several friends saying that he should be put behind bars. Another expressed the anger that he felt towards the daughter who was found in bed with the teenager.
