Pedro 'Pete" is my brother, he was also a father of two and
a grandfather. my brother was a hard workier, helping people with their home improvement projects was his passion. Since his murder our familia has been devasted & deeply pained, Pete was the true root of our family, he was well respected by all that knew him. he had a unique contagious personality. my brother was true to his beleifs & loyal to all he loved, a true legend.. legend...
i remeber the evening my brother was killed., ... its still fresh as if it was yesterday... when we where given the news at the hospital that he passed as they worked on from a gun shot wound that had no exit wound, there was a silence from everyone there wAs over 30 family members at the hospital, some were still rushing to get their only to find that he didnt make it.
with all that said, this is how my brothers life ended with no further & no effort by police to perform a deep & intense investigation no one ever paid for the murder they commited against my brother. my brother was not perfect & had rumins w the law previously but he did what he was ordered to, No justice & noone had to pay for this... mind you that my nephew my brothers son was also shot in the face And almost lost his life as he too had sustained life threatning injuries....
