yes, the second one is better.
To make it a bit more clear:
Authorities say a homeless man who benefited from a GoFundMe page set up by a New Jersey couple AFTER HE helped them with a disabled car has been arrested."?

They are both confusing, but the second is better.
In the first sentence, "they" seems to refer back to the New Jersey couple, and not the homeless man.
