NORCROSS, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -

A funeral is planned for this weekend for a 15-year-old gunned down during a home invasion in Norcross.

Police say Nicholas Jackson was shot around 6:30 p.m. Feb. 2, when six people broke into the family's home on Autry Street.

The investigation continues, but officers say the preliminary motive was robbery.

His sister was also home and tried to revive her brother using CPR after calling 911.

Police say Jackson died on the way to the hospital.

Six men have been charged in a home invasion style murder. All were denied bond and remain in the Gwinnett County Jail.

When the men were arrested officers recovered weapons, ski masks, bandanas and an undisclosed amount of money.

Jackson's funeral is planned for 1 p.m. Saturday at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Norcross.

A wake will be held Friday night at 7 p.m. in Decatur at the Donald Timble Mortuary.
