A relative told FOX 29 that the boy was named King Gabriel, after his late big sister.

Gabrielle Hill Carter's mother gave birth Tuesday night, according to the mother's brother, Darryl Mack.

He told the television station that "Gabby" is living on in other ways, too. Her organs were donated, and a family member received her liver.

Services will be held Saturday at Faith Holy Temple Church of God in Christ in Camden. Viewing will be from 9 to 11 a.m. and the funeral will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., FOX 29 reported.

She was shot in the head in front of her home on South 8th Street around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 24. She was not the intended target but was hit with a stray bullet, authorities said.

She was rushed to Cooper University Hospital but died Friday morning. She would have started the third grade at Camden Community Charter School Monday.
