GoFundMe: A GoFundMe account has been set up to directly benefit the Oberheims. As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, it had raised over $129,000.

In addition to these, Champaign police have said the public can bring in cards to the Champaign Police Department to show support for Jeffrey Creel, the second officer who responded to the domestic situation in which a shootout occurred and Oberheim was killed. Click here for more.
