A GoFundMe page has been launched for Johnny Alberto Pizarro II, the Law & Order crew member who was gunned down on the set of the NBC show.

As Sportskeeda previously reported, on the morning of July 19, 31-year-old Johnny Pizarro II was working on the New York set of the Law & Order spin-off, Law and Order: Organized crime, as a parking enforcement officer.

As per the official NYPD report, Pizarro was sitting in his car when he was shot multiple times by an unknown assailant. He was transported to Woodhull Medical Center, where he died from his wounds.

In the aftermath of the killing, Chrissy Grigoropoulos, an attorney for Pizarro's estate, launched a GoFundMe to support the wife and children of the Law & Order crew member. As of July 23, Grigoropoulos' initiative has raised more than $18000 of a $250000 goal.
