Man dead after fight at Tigerland bar, GoFundMe created to help his family
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A GoFundMe has been created for the family of a man who died after a bar fight in Tigerland over the weekend.
Emergency medical services said one male was taken to the hospital after a barfight in Tigerland around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. The Baton Rouge Police Department said they are investigating the incident and tracking down several leads.
"It seems like a fight that started in the bar spilled out into the parking lot at this time," Chief Thomas Morse Jr. said in a news conference talking about a violent weekend in the capital city.
Devin Repath was declared brain dead on Sunday, and his organs were harvested for donation, his father, J.P. Repath, confirmed.
A GoFundMe has been created to help Devin's sons and his children's mother, Sheylli Pantoja, with any future financial issues. As of Monday, March 25, over $26,000 had been raised.
"This GoFundMe campaign is an appeal for your kindness and generosity. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in the lives of Sheylli and the boys. Your prayers, condolences and donations are deeply appreciated," the GoFundMe said.
