A second victim killed in the Florida State University shooting was identified Friday as a campus vending worker and “loving father” of two children, according to a lawyer for his family.

Tiru Chabba, 45, an Aramark employee from Greenville, South Carolina, was on campus Thursday when he was fatally shot, NBC Miami reported.

“Instead of hiding Easter eggs and visiting with friends and family, they’re living a nightmare where this loving father and devoted husband was stolen from them in an act of senseless and preventable violence,” he said.

Sellers now wants to “ensure that all those who bear responsibility for this senseless act of violence are held to account,” he said.

Chabba was a regional vice president at Aramark Collegiate Hospitality, according to a LinkedIn profile.

Earlier in the day Friday, Aramark employee Robert Morales was also identified as one of the victims killed in the mass shooting.
