“Over the past few days, my mind and heart have been heavy,” the popular R&B singer and songwriter said in a social media post.
Over the past few days, my mind and heart have been heavy. Hearing/seeing an act of terrorism happen so close to home, my family, and my friends has been unbelievable and shocking. Singing “915” and “city of El Paso” on tour every night feels indescribable

Khalid said he was bothered by the violent attack that claimed 22 lives and injured dozens more at a crowded Walmart store in the border town Saturday morning.
“Hearing/seeing an act of terrorism happen so close to home, my family and my friends has been unbelievable and shocking,” he wrote.
The musician said he’s planning a benefit concert later this month with all the proceeds going to the families affected by the shooting.
Over the past few days, I’ve been thinking of ways to help out and support the city.
