The family of a man who was killed at a Halloween party in Orinda says they are devastated by his death.

Omar Taylor Jr. was among five people killed Thursday at the party. Family members say he was a DJ at the event.

"To get that call was devastating," Laneisha Epps, his stepmother, told KGO-TV.

"I personally think this was a senseless, careless act. It's such a traumatic experience the family is taking on now," Epps said. "Music and DJ'ing was his happiness, I don't even think he was going in thinking there was trouble or anything."

Omari Taylor told KGO that his brother worked as a DJ to help support his young daughter. "He was a good man. If he was here right now, he'd want everyone to stay strong," Taylor said.

"He wanted to be successful in everything and he wanted to care of everyone, take care of his children's children. That's what his plan was," Taylor told the TV station.
