A FUNDRAISER for the family of a man killed in a shooting earlier this month has raised nearly $6000.
Two people were killed in the alleged shooting in Mordialloc on 13 January. Police have arrested a 73-year-old man and charged him with two counts of murder, conduct endangering life, and assault police serious.
A Gofundme has been set up to help the family of one of the alleged victims, Sau Gasio.
The fundraising page reads that “anyone who knows the Gasio family knows they are the kindest most generous family and deserve nothing but the best.”
“Sau has left behind a massive family whom he loved dearly and has done him proud. As much as they would never ask for it, we can help in this difficult time. So please if you know these guys you know how deserving they are of our help,” the website read. “Any donation is considered a great donation, for a family that has done so much for our community and as individuals this is the perfect opportunity to help rally behind our friends, family, or even neighbours.”
Police have alleged that a gun was fired on McDonald Street at around 9.10pm on Thursday, 13 January. When police arrived they discovered two people with critical injuries. Attempts were made to treat them but the two people died at the scene.
