A Florida rapper has offered to pay the college fees for the children of the two FBI agents who were fatally shot last week while serving a search warrant at a home in Sunrise, Florida.
Kodak Black, who was recently released from prison following an apology from President Donald Trump, wanted to help after learning that Special Agent Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger were having children, his lawyer Bradford Cohen said.
Alfin had a 3-year-old and Schwartzenberger left behind two children, ages 4 and 9, according to NBC News affiliate WTVJ.
Alfin and Schwartzenberger were shot dead on Feb. 2 while carrying out a warrant in the apartment of a suspected child pornographer. Three others were injured.
“Alfin and Schwartzenberger, who were known for child crime cases, have an example of heroism in defense of their country today,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said after their deaths.
Black, legally named Bill Kapri, was sentenced in 2019 to 46 months in prison on charges of federal weapons after admitting to falsifying information on federal forms to buy four firearms. The rapper was given three rifles: a 9mm pistol, a .380 pistol and a semi-automatic Mini Draco weapon. He received a pardon from Trump last month.
Cohen said he contacted the FBI Miami department last week about Black’s offer to pay the college fees for the children of the killed agents.
The letter says the rapper understands what it’s like to lose loved ones and grow up in a single-parent home, and that he does not want families to worry about the cost of university, Cohen said. .
Black “tries to take care of as many people as possible,” Cohen said. “There is always someone who can help you donate your time or money, and he has always agreed with that line of thinking.”
Cohen said he was in contact with the FBI and working with them to nail down the donation amount for each of the children.
The FBI Miami Department did not immediately respond to a request from NBC News for comment.
