Kanye West donates $ 150,000 for security officer killed by officer in suburban Chicago

West donated the GoFundMe page to raise funds for the funeral of Jemel Roberson, 26, far exceeding the goal. Bart Jackson, representative of GoFundMe, confirmed the contribution.

An officer from Midlothian, Illinois, shot Roberson while he was holding an armed man outside the Blue Room Lounge in Manny, Robbins, where he was working, according to a federal trial . According to witnesses, the alleged gunman reportedly returned to the bar after the police asked him and several drunk men to leave, reported WGN, a CNN subsidiary.

The attending officer fired on Roberson at his side after giving him "several verbal orders to drop the gun and land," according to a statement from the Illinois police, citing witnesses.

Roberson 's mother, Beatrice Roberson, sued for more than a million dollars, citing the unidentified defendant and the Midlothian village as defendants.

Outrage as a result of the murder

Many expressed their indignation and concern about alleged racial bias in the latter case of the black man being murdered by the police.

US Senator Corey Booker, D-New Jersey, tweeted, "Words can not describe my horror and outrage."

US Senator Tammy Duckworth, of Illinois, called the shooting "heartbreaking".

Actress Gabrielle Union also tweeted, saying that Roberson was brave and that "his life was ripped off".

Correction: A previous version of this story gave a misconception of the city where security officer Jemel Roberson had been shot. It was in Robbins, Illinois.
