The Rev. Jesse Jackson delivered the eulogy for an African-American man shot to death by a police officer following a shooting at a crowded Alabama shopping mall.  

Funeral services were held for 21-year-old Emantic "EJ" Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr. on Saturday in Birmingham. 

A police officer in nearby Hoover shot and killed Bradford on Thanksgiving night while responding to a shooting at a crowded shopping mall.

Police later acknowledged he was not the gunman in the shooting that wounded two people.
