A procession will take the body of 32-year-old single mom Celena Hollis on the 6-mile trip from the church to the cemetery Saturday.

About a dozen paramedic trucks are lining a street in front of the church.

Hollis was a seven-year veteran of the force and was off-duty but in uniform providing security at the June 24 concert.

Officials say Hollis was responding to a fight just as the band was wrapping up when she was shot in the head.

Police arrested 21-year-old Rollin Oliver on suspicion of first-degree murder in Hollis' death.

Hollis' family has requested no live media inside the funeral. It will not be covered live online.
