Ravens’ Kevin Zeitler, Wife Sara Give to Waukesha Parade Victim Funeral, Medical Fund

Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler and his wife, Sara, announced Tuesday they will help cover funeral and medical expenses for people killed or injured in Sunday's attack on a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Zeitler, a Waukesha native, posted a statement on Twitter:

Kay Jones, Claudia Dominguez, Holly Yan, Travis Caldwell and Amir Vera of CNN reported Tuesday that Darrell E. Brooks was charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide after allegedly driving his SUV through a crowded road on the parade route. A sixth person, an eight-year-old child, died Tuesday and prosecutors said a homicide charge being added is under consideration.

Another 62 people, including at least 18 children, were injured in the tragedy. No motive has been publicly revealed.

Brooks remains jailed on $5 million bail and faces life in prison on each of the homicide charges if found guilty, per CNN.

The Green Bay Packers, who play in Wisconsin, previously released a statement:

United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County president Amy Lindner and Waukesha County Community Foundation president Shelli Marquardt, who set up the United for Waukesha Community Fund to which the Zeitlers donated, told Evan Casey of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the fund had received over $1.3 million through 6,300 donations from 12 countries.

After being born in Waukesha, Zeitler attended Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

The guard was selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. He also played for the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants before signing with the Ravens in March.
