*Remember our story from earlier this week about Jemel Roberson, the Chicago security guard who was killed by cops after he subdued a gunman?

It seems Kanye West, like a lot of people, was moved by what happened. However, unlike most people who could not do anything but be moved emotionally, Ye stepped up and is helping the deceased man’s family to the tune of $150,000!

West heard about Roberson — who was gunned down by police after stopping a drunken man with a gun — and wanted to do whatever he could to lessen the burden on his family.  He then donated $150,000 to the Roberson family on Friday, according to TMZ.

Roberson was working security at Manny’s Blue Room Bar Sunday around 4 AM where several drunk customers were ordered out. One of those customers returned to the bar a short time later with a gun and opened fire.

Reports say Roberson returned fire, subdued the gunman and held him at gunpoint until police arrived … but when a Chicago cop arrived on the scene, he shot Roberson, killing him.

Reports say Roberson was working extra shifts at the bar in order to have some extra money to provide for his son at Christmas.

His slaying is under investigation.
