Did anyone know this young man personally and does anyone know when the funeral will be?

I knew Carlos, he was truly a good person. A funeral date hasn't been set because the family doesn't have the money needed for a proper burial. You can make donations here if you wish- http://www.gofundme.com/Help-For-A-Burial
