ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A public memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon for Tyrus Toribio, the 3-year-old boy found buried at an Albuquerque park nearly two weeks ago.

The public is invited to the memorial at 2 p.m. at Calvary Chapel, 4001 Osuna Rd. NE, in Albuquerque.

The boy, who has relatives on Zia Pueblo, will be buried there following a two-day private ceremony.
