GoFundMe page for the boys of the victims of spa shots in Atlanta raises $ 2 million

The crowdfunding page, verified by the company, was apparently set up by Grant’s son, Randy Park.

“She was one of my best friends and had the strongest influence on who we are today,” he wrote. “By losing her, I put a new lens on the amount of hate in our world.”

Park wrote that he and his brother are the only members of his family in the United States. The rest of their family is in South Korea.

Randy Park did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN.

According to the page, more than 59,000 people made donations. Randy Park wrote that the page was set up to cover the rent, food and monthly bills.

Grant, 51, was one of four people identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner on Friday as victims of the fatal shooting at the Atlanta spa. The other three were identified as Soon Chung Park (74), Suncha Kim (69) and Yong Ae Yue (63).

A victim of the shooting in Atlanta was a South Korean citizen, the official said

Four people were killed in the spa in Acworth, Cherokee County, about 20 miles northwest of Atlanta. They were identified by authorities as 33-year-old Delaina Yaun, of Acworth; Paul Andre Michels (54) of Atlanta; Xiaojie Tan (49) of Kennesaw; and Daoyou Feng (44). One man, Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz, survived.

Some officials have filed charges of hate crime against the suspect, who according to authorities may have traveled to carry out more attacks when he was arrested Tuesday night.

According to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, the shooting has increased the fear that many Asians in the U.S. feel that anti-Asian hate crimes more than doubled during the coronavirus pandemic.

The suspect was arrested Tuesday night in a stop 250 miles south of Atlanta.
