The fundraiser has already raised more than $10,000 as of late Monday.
Gayles, who plays at Spring Valley High School, recommitted to USC after decommitting over coaching changes.
"Aaliyah is one of the strongest, most resilient young people I have ever known," USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "I have no doubt she will continue to face this unfathomable situation with courage and resolve. We will continue to support her and her parents in every way that we possibly can."
Booker said one female adult victim with "multiple gunshot wounds to her lower extremities" and was in serious condition. He said three other victims were reported to be in stable condition.
No arrests were immediately made in the shooting, and a suspect wasn’t yet identified.
