In a previous story a commenter who said she is related to Zachary Rose, the victim, wrote the following:

This is my little brother who lost his life far too young. He just turned 22 on January 22nd. Our family and close friends has been struggling with this news. We all pray for justice for my little brother and this second suspect is caught and given what he deserves. Our family has opened a memorial account to help raise money for his funeral. Zach did not have insurance. If anyone wants to donate you can go to any Wells Fargo Bank and donate to the "Zachary Rose Memorial fund" Anything donated is greatly appreciative. Thank you and God Bless.
