GoFundMe has disabled the account and money is expected to be returned to those who donated, Doerr said. The fundraising account titled “Hamilton Hero Funeral Fundraiser” is unauthorized and it’s not clear where the money is going, said Det. Greg Doerr, of the Hamilton police major fraud unit. Hamilton police have launched a fraud investigation into an unauthorized GoFundMe account that purports to be raising money for funeral expenses for murder victim Yosif Al-Hasnawi. Anyone with information on the GoFundMe account is asked to contact the Det.
