A woman identifying herself as Ethan Doughten’s mother, posted a GoFundMe page asking for help with his funeral expenses:
I’m trying to raise money for my sons funeral cost. He was shot and killed last night. I have no life insurance and I’m trying to figure out what to do. Anything will help with this part of life I wish I had my son back and this nightmare didn’t happen. I appreciate anything given.
Thanks in advance.
