The Rev. Al Sharpton will eulogize Aiyana Jones on Saturday and will denounce both police misconduct and black-on-black violence, saying you 'can't confront one without the other,' a spokeswoman for him said today.

Aiyana, 7, died Sunday during a police raid on her eastside home as officers searched for a murder suspect.

Sharpton, the chief executive officer of the National Action Network and a high-profile pastor from New York, will offer his words at services that will begin at 11 a.m. at Second Ebenezer Church, 14601 Dequindre. The Rev. Horace Sheffield III of New Galilee Baptist Church will officiate.
