Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who played high school football in Allen, Texas, donated $15,000 to support a 6-year-old boy whose family was killed in Saturday’s mass shooting, according to an online fund-raiser.
William Cho’s parents, Cindy and Kyu Cho, and his 3-year-old brother, James, were among the eight victims who died in the massacre at the Allen Premium Outlets shopping center.
Murray hasn’t publicly commented on the donation but is listed among the top donors on a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $1.7 million to support William, who was released from intensive care.
“We are deeply grateful and sincerely appreciate this outpouring love and prayers from all around the country,” the fund-raiser reads. “William is recovering well. Both Kyu and Cindy’s family will use these funds to help William continue the legacy of his parents.”
The other victims killed in the shooting include security guard Christian LaCour, engineer Aishwarya Thatikonda, 32-year-old Elio Cumana-Rivas, and sisters Daniela and Sofia Mendoza, who were both in elementary school.
Authorities identified the suspect as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia and said he was killed by a police officer who happened to be nearby.
Following the shooting, Murray tweeted, “This is sickening.”
“Prayers to the mass shooting victims in Allen, Texas,” Murray, 25, wrote Saturday. “If there is anyway I can help those affected by this tragedy please let me know. When is this s—t gonna stop?”
Murray went 42-0 as the starting quarterback at Allen High School and won three state championships. He played college football at Texas A&M and Oklahoma, winning the Heisman Trophy while playing for the latter in 2018. He was selected first overall by the Cardinals in the 2019 NFL Draft.
