GoFundMe has compiled a list of the official donation websites for the families of the victims affected by the mass shooting.

The Allen, TX Victims’ Fund, organised by Victims’ Fund, benefits the families of victims 100 per cent. It is the same organisation that collected donations for the families of the Uvlade, TX victims.

The Irvin Walker II Fund is seeking donations from people to help Irvin Walker, a man who was shot twice during the shooting. Mr Walker II survived but has “a long road to recovery”. The money raised will go toward paying for medical and personal expenses.

The Cho Family Fund is raising money for William Cho, the six-year-old boy who is the only person in his immediate family who survived the shooting. William’s parents, Cindy and Kyu, as well as his three-year-old brother James died.

The Mendoza Family Fund is seeking donations to help support the Mendoza family who lost their 11-year-old daughter Daniela and 8-year-old daughter Sofia in the tragic shooting. The girls’ mother was also shot and is currently in the hospital.

The LaCour Family Fund is asking for donations to “offset some of the financial burden” from 20-year-old Christian LaCour’s death. LaCour’s father is managing the fundraiser.

Kyu Cho, one of the victims of the Texas mass shooting was the father to two children, William, 6, and James, 3, as well as the husband to Cindy Cho.

Mr Cho, his wife Cindy Cho and their son James were all shot dead after a gunman opened fire at the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday (6 May).

The only survivor of the Cho family is six-year-old William who no longer has parents or a younger brother.

Brian Aniki, Mr Cho’s friend, mentor and taekwondo teacher from his college days told NBC News that Mr Cho “loved being a dad”.

Mr Cho’s other friends from college attested to his bright personality, caring nature and love for family.

Grace Ghang a friend of Mr Cho’s who went to law school with him at Ave Maria School of Law said they last spoke in 2021 when they tried to arrange for a playdate for their children.

“We concluded our messaging by saying we would love to get together sometime since both of us now live in Texas, and I really was planning on trying to make a trip sometime to Dallas to try and catch up with him,” Ms Ghang told NBC News. “But now that opportunity is lost.”

Several fake fundraisers have arisen online claiming to raise money for the victims and survivors of the Allen mass shooting.

“We are aware of multiple fake online fundraisers that are currently underway for the victims,” said Chad Yarbrough, special agent-in-charge for FBI Dallas said in a press conference on Tuesday.

The gunman who killed eight people allegedly had a tattoo of a swastika, according to an image posted on the gunman’s supposed ok.ru profile.

Authorities investigating the mass shooting in Allen, Texas, said the gunman, Mauricio Garcia, may have had ties to far-right-wing groups, white supremacy and neo-Nazism.

A profile that seems to match Garica from the Russian website, ok.ru, had posted photos showing SS and swastika tattoos, praise for Adolf Hitler, misogynistic screeds that echo incel (or involuntary celibate) ideas and forums, and complaints about the state of his mental health.

Christian LaCour, 20, a security guard working at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, was remembered as a hero on Tuesday after it was revealed he helped escort others to safety before he was shot and killed during a mass shooting on Saturday.

Allen Police Department Chief Brian Harvey said LaCour helped escort one individual to safety and remained on site trying to help others when Mauricio Garcia, 33, shot and killed him.

Garcia murdered eight people at the outlet mall, including children, before police shot and killed him.

LaCour’s sister, Breanna Smith, remembered her brother in an interview with CNN.

“Christian was a sweet, caring young man who was loved greatly by our family,” she said.

The Allen Premium Outlets indicated to shoppers that they will remain ‘closed until further notice’ following a horrific shooting that left eight people dead and seven injured.

On the mall’s website they wrote they are “horrified by the senseless tragedy” and “outraged by the violence that continues to plague our country.”

They thanked law enforcement and first responder’s actions and efforts to save members of the community.

“Allen Premium Outlets remains closed until further notice,” they wrote.

The eighth victim identified in the Allen Premium Outlets mass shooting, Elio Cumana-Rivas was a father and son who was working as a delivery driver, according to NBC DFW.

Mr Cumana-Rivas’ father, Santos Cumana, told the news outlet that his son came to the United States to save for a better future for his 11-year-old daughter who is back in Venezuela.

“There are conversations that say Venezuela is not safe,” Mr Cumana said. “Then you come to the United States and you’re killed in a mall by a crazy person with a gun.”

Mr Cumana said his son sent him a video showing him working as a delivery driver the day before the shooting.

On the day of a mass shooting at a Texas mall that left eight people dead and seven others injured, a video of the suspected gunman removing a mask of the Scream character Ghostface appeared on YouTube.

The video, which was uploaded on Saturday (6 May), features a man starring into a camera, removing the Scream mask, then saying: “Not quite what you what expecting, huh?”

A three-year-old boy, two elementary-age sisters, a young engineer from India and a mall worker are among the eight people killed in last weekend’s horror mass shooting in Allen, Texas.

The gunman who killed eight people and injured seven others at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, brought eight weapons with him, police have confirmed in a press conference.

Mauricio Garcia, 33, the man law enforcement identified as the gunman, used an AR-15-style rifle to carry out the mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday (6 May).

But according to police, Garcia had seven additional weapons.

“He had eight weapons with him,” Hank Sibley, the regional director of the Texas Department of Safety, said on Tuesday.
