Glass, who was the main focus in investigation into the death of five-year-old Lucas Hernandez, was found inside her home on east Edgemoor with a gunshot wound early Friday morning from a reported suicide. Police reported that there was a rifle and three separate suicide notes at the scene. The details in those notes have not been released.

‘We were never prepared to face this loss’: Lucas Hernandez memorial will be open to public, parents say

The parents of deceased Kansas boy Lucas Hernandez stated on Saturday night they plan to have a public memorial for their son, but in the meantime, ask that fundraising efforts be put on hold until after their son has been laid to rest.

Jonathan Hernandez, father of 5-year-old Lucas, told CrimeOnline that a benevolence fund will be created via a non-profit agency, so that any and all donations to the family will be accounted for. Benevolence funds are typically doled out by a church or another non-profit agency to families in need to help aid them during unfortunate circumstances, whether it be missed work because of the loss of a family member, unemployment, natural disasters, and other similar circumstances.

Further, a benevolence fund will help reduce the chances of people donating to any unapproved fundraisers. No fundraisers at this time have been approved by the family, Hernandez told CrimeOnline.
