Apr 15, 2024
Chidozie died less than a month after police said his wife shot him multiple times at their apartment in Houston, Texas, United States.
The family of the late US-based Nigerian bodybuilder, Michael Chidozie has launched a GoFundMe account to raise $70,000 to bring his body to Nigeria for burial.
Chidozie died less than a month after police said his wife shot him multiple times at their apartment in Houston, Texas, United States.
He was shot multiple times by his wife, Keaiirra Shavoiyae Chidozie during an argument between the couple in front of their children in their home in Houston on March 21.
She reportedly took out a handgun and shot the bodybuilder multiple times. He died on April 9, 2024.
Police detained the wife and charged her for the shooting while the children were taken into care by a family member.
However, Ashley C who launched a GoFundMeaccount noted that it was always his dream to return to Nigeria one day and that they were committed to honouring his memory by fulfilling this final wish.
Ashley explained that the family was faced with the daunting task of laying Chidozie to rest in his homeland of Nigeria as well as legal matters that had arisen as a result of his untimely death.
Ashley said the expenses associated with repatriating Chidozie's remains to Nigeria and organizing a proper funeral service exceed what his lone family member in the United States can manage alone.
