Zeallor’s family and friends have started a GoFundMe to assist the family.
“Although they plan to continue honoring his life in other ways in the future, this fundraiser is intended to provide a sheer sense of security while the family continues to process this loss,” the fundraiser said.

As of Wednesday, the fundraiser gathered more than $16,000.
Troopers responded to the scene at 2:31 a.m. last Saturday and discovered the Mustang with front-end damage and bullet holes in the windshield. Several yards away, they found a 2009 white Acura TL abandoned in the right lane, bearing heavy rear-end damage and multiple bullet holes.
A 21-year-old male passenger of the Mustang, who is from Smyrna, Delaware, was hospitalized for injuries sustained in the crash.

Investigators later learned that the driver of the Acura, a 26-year-old Philadelphia man, had been taken to Temple University Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.
State police said they believe a third, unknown vehicle was involved in the shooting and fled the scene before troopers arrived.
