Toms River resident Tyshaun Drummond, 39, was charged with two counts of murder in the shooting that killed Nicholas Hardy, 36, of Toms River, and Sergio Chavez-Perez, 32, of Lakewood, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.

"No money can bring him back, but with their breadwinner gone, the least we can do as a community is help them get over this shock by covering funeral expenses, and other basic needs for the family," The Lakewood Scoop wrote while sponsoring this GoFundMe page. 

Chavez-Perez's children are 12, 7, and 2, according to the page. They attend Lakewood schools.

"Let's come together as a community and be for them in this most difficult time of need," the GoFundMe page adds.

More than $3,300 had been raised as of late Monday afternoon.
