Kenosha shooting victim, 26, remembered by fellow skateboarders
Anthony Huber "put his life on the line for others," one friend said
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Anthony Huber enjoyed skateboarding, so a group of his friends met at a skateboard park in Kenosha, Wis., on Wednesday night to remember him.
“Go out there and skate as hard as you can,” Huber’s girlfriend, Hannah Gittings, had written on a crowdfunding page for Huber, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Messages scrawled around the park paid tribute to Huber, one of two Wisconsin residents killed Tuesday when a gunman opened fire in Kenosha during a night of unrest following Sunday's wounding of Jacob Blake by police.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“#SkateForHuber,” one message read, “You’re a Hero Huber,” read another, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Huber, from Silver Lake, Wis., also had a stepdaughter, and was a “peaceful person” who friends said had tried to stop the teenage gunman who was arrested Wednesday in Illinois.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“He didn’t go out looking to beat people up,” an unidentified friend told Milwaukee’s WDJT-TV. “He’s more of a defender. And he put his life on the line for others. That’s what he did.”
As of Wednesday night, the crowdfunding page had raised more than $51,000 for Huber’s family.
