Officers said they believe he died of an “accidental gunshot wound” to the head.
A GoFundMe page was created the day after Rylo Huncho’s death to help cover funeral expenses and provide support to his family. So far he has already received 85 donations totaling more than $2,500, of the $15,000 goal set by his family.
A cousin of his, who created the page, said his death was ruled an accident and the family is still trying to understand the circumstances that led to the incident.
