GoFundMe set up to raise money for local mother and son’s funeral expenses

LANCASTER, S.C. – A GoFundMe has been setup up to help pay for funeral expenses after a mother and her 6-year-old son were shot and killed at a home in Lancaster.

The shooting happened last Sunday on Mosteller Drive. The coroner says 44-year-old Christina McVay died on Thursday. Her son Colin died Monday.

The mother and son had reportedly just moved to Lancaster from Kansas, to live with her father.

The man accused of shooting them, 24-year-old Jacob Sobieraj, died in a shootout with deputies. Sobieraj reportedly met McVay’s father at church. He needed somewhere to stay and McVay’s father reportedly invited him to stay at his home.

Money raised through the GoFundMe will also help McVay’s two surviving daughters. If you’d like to donate, click here.
