Civil-rights attorney Bakari Sellers said in his firm’s statement that Chabba is survived by his wife and two children.
“Tiru Chabba’s family is going through the unimaginable now,” Sellers said in the statement. “Instead of hiding Easter eggs and visiting with friends and family, they’re living a nightmare where this loving father and devoted husband was stolen from them in an act of senseless and preventable violence.”
“We ask you to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as we fight to ensure they see justice that honors the memories of Mr. Chabba and all the victims of Thursday’s shooting.”
