GoFundMe Raises $18K For Lowell Shooting Victim Memorial Fund

LOWELL, MA — Over $18,000 has been raised for a memorial fund for the Lowell man who was killed Oct. 13 in a shooting.

Nathaniel Fabian, 20 of Lowell, was killed in a shooting in Lowell. Another Lowell man was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Fabian's death.

Fabian's aunt Alecia Brangan set up a fundraiser on GoFundMe in Fabian's memory Wednesday.

"On Oct 13th, he was tragically taken from us by the hands of another, " Brangan wrote." There is no way to make sense of any of this. All that knew Nathan knew him for his selflessness, love, friendship and that smile!

"Nathan was the friend that everyone could depend on, the boy that made his family so proud and a bright light to all that knew him. Nathan loved skateboarding, especially with his friends," she continued. "One of his favorite places was Hadley Park. We think the best way to honor him would be by improving the place that brought him so much joy. It would be wonderful to have something positive come from this unimaginable tragedy."

As of Thursday afternoon, $18,173 of the fundraiser's $20,000 goal has been raised from over 200 donors.
