The family of Tiru Chabba, the 45-year-old father of two killed in last week’s shooting at Florida State University, announced they will hold a private funeral on Friday, beginning at 10 a.m., in Greenville, S.C., according to family attorneys on Wednesday.
Chabba lived in Greenville and was on the FSU campus as an employee of campus vendor Aramark Collegiate Hospitality when, according to law enforcement authorities, a gunman opened fire, killing him and Robert Morales, a university dining coordinator. Six other people were wounded.
The gunman, Phoenix Ikner, identified as the stepson of a Leon County Sheriff’s Office deputy, arrived on campus an hour before the shooting that Thursday morning and stayed near a parking garage before he walked in and out of buildings and green spaces while firing a handgun just before lunchtime, police said.
In roughly four minutes, officers confronted Ikner, an FSU student, and shot and wounded him, Tallahassee police said.
