In the aftermath of a mass shooting that left four people dead, including the shooter, and injured two people at the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday, the greater Greenwood community community is coming together to fundraiser for the victims and those affected.
Indianapolis residents Victor Gomez, 30, and husband and wife Pedro Pineda, 56, and Rosa Mirian Rivera de Pineda, 37, were killed by the shooter.
Here’s a look at some of the fundraisers:
Food sale planned for Saturday
The family and friends of the Pinedas’ are raising money for their funerals by selling traditional food of El Salvador on Saturday. The event on Saturday is from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 3720 W. 30th St. in Indianapolis.
GoFundMe set up for funeral costs
A GoFundMe has also been set up by a family friend of the Pinedas’ to help with their funerals. More than $3,395 has been raised with the fundraising goal set at $20,000.
