HAINES CITY, Fla. (AP) — More than $3,500 has been raised to help pay for the burial expense of a Haines City mother and daughter who were killed during a crime spree.

Police say 72-year-old Patricia Moran and her 51-year-old daughter Deborah Royal were killed in their home. A 34-year-old man is accused of killing the woman as he and three other men fled authorities after a pawn shop robbery in Auburndale on Thursday night.

The Ledger of Lakeland (http://bit.ly/1CG3R7e ) reports more than 100 people have donated to a GoFundMe account set up by Rachel Dominguez. The Lakeland woman organizes a Relay For Life team that Deborah Royal's daughter is part of.

Michael Gordon was arrested after driving Moran's car out of her garage. The other three men were also arrested and face multiple charges.
