Help a Family Heal from Tragic Violence

It’s with a heavy heart that I inform everyone that the shooting in my neighborhood this weekend did in fact affect my family. Unfortunately my mother’s fiancé, and the father of my five your old sister was murdered Saturday night. He was shot in the back of the head, trying to get away from our neighbor. He left behind a family of six, and a granddaughter that he was supposed to be meeting this week and never got the chance to. The investigation is still ongoing but the autopsy ruled it a homicide this afternoon. We’re now all faced with unexpected costs such as a funeral service, cremation, the loss of a vehicle, ongoing vet bills that are multiple thousands of dollars because this man also shot our dog in the neck with an ar15 while she was in the passenger seat of the vehicle; on top of the cost of my mom now being a single mother of five with no financial support. Through every thing we’ve been through together I’ve never seen my family in such shambles. Regardless of outside opinions or personal relationships no one deserves such brutality and violence over what should’ve been a reasonable conversation between parents about respect/boundaries and harassment that had been ongoing towards my family for the past 6 months that he was trying to protect us from. I’m reaching out to ask anyone who is willing to to please help if they can, anything and everything will be greatly appreciated; and any questions anyone has regarding the post made before the investigation was even near ended versus what is on tapes and what really happened we will happily answer when the time is right Thank you to everyone who has already reached out and shown support through such a heartbreaking time.
