Update January29th 2026: we've severely underestimated just how much the burial, funeral, casket, and psychological support is going to cost. Thank you all for the support. A penny helps, please dont feel pressured to donate if you cant, just spreading the word and getting coworkers, family members, and friends is sufficient

On January 26th 2025 at 6pm, in phoenix arizona at lowerbuckeye a man entered my familys home, he shot thru our glass door and forced himself in, he shot my little brother in the ankle, and was promptly tooken down and restrained by my father. Who called the police. When the police arrived my little brother and mother had told the police not to fire, as the shooter was already apprehended and was being restrained.

The police open fired anyway, they shot him in the jaw. Where he crawled to the livingroom and died. We are furious with the police. And depressed at the loss of our father. Were asking for any support to help cover funeral expenses, if you could please donate anything you can, the funds will go words the funeral

He was a husband, and father to my 2 older brothers, 2 older sisters, 2 little brothers, 2 adopted brothers, 2 adopted sisters, my little sister and myself. He was loved by his community, and followed the bible, going to church every sunday, he was a good man. He deserves to be buried knowing his family loved him and that his death mattered. That the officer who did this will be brought to justice
