Kyle Battie, the cousin of Brian Battie and a Sarasota City Commissioner, calls the shooting that left the Auburn running back in critical condition and killed Tommie Battie IV, Brian Battie’s older brother, a “senseless act of gun violence.”

“Hearing the news …. has left our family in shock,” Kyle Battie told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

“My prayers are with all of the victims and their loved ones, including my cousins who lost their son Tommie and for my cousin Brian and his friend who are both fighting for their lives. We must come together to do more to save our youth from these tragic ends.”

Auburn head football coach Hugh Freeze took to social media on Monday morning, asking for prayers after Brian Battie suffered a “set back” the night prior and remained on a ventilator.

According to a Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office press release, deputies responded to the Tallywood Centre Plaza, located in the 3400 block of 17th Street in Sarasota, at approximately 3:30 a.m., where they found a large crowd with multiple shooting victims in the parking lot.

Sarasota Director of Community Affairs Evan Keats told AL.com on Tuesday that there had been no further update from the sheriff’s office outside of its initial press release, which called the shooting an “isolated incident” but did not name a suspect or a motive.

On Sunday, a GoFundMe campaign was launched in effort to support the Battie family.

“With all of the emotional pain and stress that tragedy brings, it also brings financial burdens,” wrote the campaign’s organizers.

“We would like to raise money for the Battie family to help with unforeseen funeral expenses and medical bills. The family is understandably shocked by this loss and not prepared for all that is happening at this time.”

With a goal of $100,000, the campaign has raised more than $85,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.
