CORDOVA, Tenn. Do you remember Chauncys Chance?
Its a story about a good Samaritan who helped a young teenager raise hundreds of thousands of dollars through GoFundMe.
WHBQ shared Chauncy Blacks story in 2016.
Over the weekend, deputies said, that same teen was arrested for a shooting that killed a man in Cordova, Tennessee.
We found out a home is owned by Blacks trust fund and its where the money from the GoFundMe was placed years ago.
Deputies said Black and his brother, Timothy Black, were firing shots at people inside a car but shot their neighbor instead.
I so appreciate it so much, that I cant appreciate it no more, Chauncy Black said in a previous interview.
In 2016, WHBQ introduced you to the teen was a young man who offered to carry groceries in exchange for food at Kroger.
Matt White decided to help him when he found out Black and his family were living in a poor area.
Just felt this overwhelming humility for his situation, White said.
White put together a GoFundMe, which raised more than $300,000 for the Black family.

How do these people get so many folks to fund them? Our house was destroyed in TWO separate natural disasters and we never raised over 5K for both combined. Hurricane Harvey and TS Imelda.
FYI FEMA is worthless as an organization and makes the American Red Cross look excellent.
Is the Black family black?
You guessed correctly.
Needs more time at the range.

Ebony and Ivory, how nice. I remember the story about the kid who was walking in the cold and the adult who gave him a ride also gave him a job. That seems to have worked. The GoFundMe scam was just more welfare-style enabling.
Looks like a metaphor. Or microcosm. Or metonymy. Or something.

I need to start a gofundme for an ingrown toenail.
White helped Black.
