While everyone else was honoring the late Ricky Harris, a man started a brawl at the comedian's funeral in Long Beach, California. Sherri Shepherd, who was among the mourners gathering on Tuesday, January 3 at Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church, revealed via Periscope that the man began yelling during the service before getting tackled by Snoop Dogg's bodyguard.
In the video, Shepherd was seen freaking out as she shared what was happening. "We're at Ricky Harris' funeral, and we're about to go see the body, and somebody came in the funeral home and went towards Snoop, and Snoop's bodyguard tackled him. And it was just a big fight," she said in front of the camera while holding back tears.

He said that the fight was caused by Harris' own relative who suffered from a mental condition. "Oh yeah, everything is good. At the end of the day, he had a nephew who had a mental problem and tripped out a little bit, probably put more on it than what it really was," he shared.
Ricky Harris passed away on December 26 reportedly after suffering a heart attack. The "Everybody Hates Chris" alum died at the age of 54.
According to TMZ, police came to the funeral after learning of the brawl. However, no arrest was made as all the parties involved had left the place when cops arrived.
