(WWJ) An online fundraiser has been set up for the children of a Plymouth Township couple who died this week in an apparent murder-suicide.
Police said the 46-year-old father allegedly shot and killed the 37-year-old mother, found in a running mini van, before taking his own life Tuesday.
The two were estranged, police said, and in the middle of a custody battle over their children, ages 17, 13 and 12.
The GoFundMe page, posted by a family member, had already raised nearly $7,500 by Wednesday afternoon.
"Please keep the kids and our family in your prayers. All funds will go towards funeral expenses for Christina and for the care of her three kids left to pick up the pieces," a cousin of the woman wrote. "Thanks in advance for all your thoughts and prayers."

Plymouth Township police have not released any names as they continue to investigate the case.
