Members of the Austin community are uniting to help the family of a victim who was killed in the string of bombings that terrorized the city in early March, according to a KXAN report.

The Roman Lopez Real Estate Team and former University of Texas football star Cedric Benson will repair the home of Anthony Stephan House, the first victim of Mark Conditt's package bombs.

House was killed on March 2 when he picked up the package in front of his home.

Lopez told the news station he felt personally connected to the House family after helping one of them buy a home just months before the bombing, according to the report.

The Northeast Side Austin house reportedly still carries remnants of that tragic day, with a nail from the bomb stuck in the wall and several markings on the porch.

Lopez and Benson plan to continue helping residents repair their homes as a way to improve their community, according to the report.
