Following the incident, separate fundraising campaigns were launched for both Ross and Good’s family. The GoFundMe supporting Ross raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. Online attention increased after a $10,000 donation appeared under the name “William Ackman,” which the hedge fund manager later confirmed was his. Ackman said his contribution was based on his belief in “innocent until proven guilty” and was intended to support due process rather than make a political statement.
He added that he attempted to donate to a fundraiser for Good’s family, but it had already closed after exceeding its goal. Ackman described the situation as tragic and expressed hope for constructive dialogue on law enforcement, public safety, and accountability. His donation has sparked strong reactions, with supporters praising his stance on legal fairness and critics questioning the message it sends as the investigation continues.
