A grieving family in Illinois has received a large donation from Kanye West.
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.
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.
On Friday night, West donated $150,000 to the Roberson family.
