Jemel Roberson, 26, was a security guard who subdued a gunman who injured four people at a bar in Illinois.

When one of the cops arrived to the scene he shot and killed Jemel Roberson without realizing he was a security guard I.e. “one of the good guys”

According to the AP report, one of the victims of the bar shooting said he did not hear the officer give any verbal warning before shooting Roberson.

Jemel Roberson’s family set up 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, his girlfriend Avontea Boose told CNN. Boose is pregnant with the couple’s second child.

Kanye West made a quiet donation to the Roberson Family donating $150,000. The Chicago native felt compelled to help the family in need in their time of disaster. He has also stated throughout the year that he plans on moving back to Chicago and he plans on building YEEZY factories to help supply jobs to his community.

Although the money raised will help the Roberson family pay for the funeral and court legal fees, Jemel Roberson can not be brought back to life.
