The family of Jemel Roberson, the 26-year-old security guard who was fatally shot by police while subduing a shooting suspect at a bar, have a GoFundMe account to help pay for burial expenses.
Roberson was working extra shifts to make his 9-month-old son's first Christmas special, girlfriend Avontea Boose told CNN. Boose is pregnant with the couple's second child.
On Friday night, West donated $150,000 to the Roberson family.
West spent part of his childhood in Illinois and has long ties to the Chicago area. In September, he said he was buying a home in Chicago, People reported.
