I knew the man who was killed, personally. He was like a brother to me and my brother and sisters. We knew him from when we were in grade school. He was a combat veteran who served in Afghanistan in the Army. He also worked as a steel worker on the new Bay Bridge. He was a loving father, brother, uncle, and son.

I don’t know anything else about this killing other than what this news source has shared. I hope East County Today follows up on this story to help catch the killer. No one deserves to die this way.
