In its first 20 hours, more than $5000 has been raised for the family.

“As the sole income provider for his family, Scott’s tragic death is impacting his family in so many awful ways, including financially,” a family member wrote on the GoFundMe page.

“At this horrible time of need it would be most appreciated if as a community we can get together to support Tenniel, Nash and Lacey so that finances are one less thing they need to worry about.

“It is one burden that we can actually help to lift.”

Belcher made no application for bail during his court appearance yesterday and will appear again in court in November.
