They have each set up GoFundMe pages to help with funeral expenses — one for and one for , who is a father of six.Police did not provide any description of the shooter or shooters.Anyone with information, or who may have captured video of the incident, is asked to call LAPD Valley bureau homicide detectives at 818-374-9550.
