Glover moved to KCAL News in October 2023 after spending eight years at ABC affiliate KTRK-TV in Houston.

His family shared a heartbreaking statement about his death on Tuesday.

“We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy’s beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy,” his family shared, according to KABC.

“He was more than a son and brother – he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community.

“Chauncy’s compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams.”

The Chauncy Glover Project is a mentorship program created to empower young men.
