"Tiru Chabba's family is going through the unimaginable now," attorney Bakari Sellers said in a statement Friday. "Instead of hiding Easter eggs and visiting with friends and family, they’re living a nightmare where this loving father and devoted husband was stolen from them in an act of senseless and preventable violence."
