His family started a GoFundMe to raise money to fight for justice in his name in regards to his killing.
The fundraiser lists its goals as…
• Cover legal fees as we fight for justice in Lee’s name.
• Provide travel and accommodation support for his family as they make their way to and from Oregon for the court proceedings.
• Ensure that Lee’s voice is heard in the fight for justice, and that his family can be present every step of the way.
The fundraiser, with a starting goal of $50,000, has so far raised just about $2,000.
