Seagroves urged well-meaning contributors not to make any donations to other GoFundMe accounts or anything associated with Sherrod. The family, who is in a state of mourning, is hopeful of getting Cash justice.

The case has seen some light as a suspect has been arrested, and police continue investigating the incident. The aunt wrote that the family members were at a loss for words because they had never experienced that kind of loss.
