His family started a GoFundMe to raise money for funeral costs.

"As many of you know, Vicente was the head of his household and his family depended on him extensively," Adriana Castro wrote on GoFundMe. "We know that many other families have also experienced a loss and we appreciate any help."

Russell Beyer was a mold operator at Henry Pratt Company. Beyer's father, Ted Beyer, told the Chicago Sun-Times his son was the union chairman. Russell Beyer had intervened to help shooter Gary Martin keep his job two months earlier, and that's why he was sitting in on the meeting, his father said.

"My son died trying to set it straight," Ted Beyer said.
