Wake, funeral set for this weekend for NYPD Officer Wenjian Liu

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- The wake and funeral for Detective Wenjian Liu, one of two NYPD officers ambushed and killed last month in Brooklyn, is this weekend.

The wake will be held Saturday from 1 p.m. TO 9 p.m. at Ralph Aievoli & Sons Funeral home in Dyker Heights.

The funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday.

The White House says FBI Director James Comey will attend the service, representing the president.

Thousands attended the funeral last Saturday for Liu's partner, Detective Rafael Ramos.

Liu and Ramos were shot to death as they sat in their patrol car in daylight in Bedford-Stuyvesant last weekend. After the officers' deaths, the gunman, Ismaaiyl Brinsley killed himself.

The funeral arrangements for Liu took some time, as he had relatives traveling from China.

From 12 p.m. until 10 p.m. Saturday, 65th Street between 12th and 14th avenues will be closed and there will be no parking. Additionally, there will be no parking on 13th Avenue between 64th and 68th streets
