Filmmaker Tyler Perry has offered to pay for the funeral and college education of the children of Rayshard Brooks, the man fatally shot by a police officer in Atlanta last week.

Brooks, 27, was shot twice in the back on Friday, causing injuries to his organs and blood loss, an autopsy found. The wounds led to his death, and his death was ruled a homicide, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said Sunday.
