'The best part of my job is telling stories that yearn to be told.'
CHULA VISTA, Calif. - A 21-year-old South Bay man is being remembered by family and friends, a week after a shooting led to a frantic plea for help near a busy intersection.
Outside a funeral home in National City, a young widow, and a grieving mother and aunt spoke out, lost in grief.“It's like a part of you died when he left. A shattered heart, for sure,” said his mother, Agar Ramirez. Agar knows few of the details, but says her son, Diego, was with his younger brother, Charlie, 20, and a friend, when they went to visit someone at Brentwood Park, a mobile home park in Chula Vista, last Tuesday.“They drove off. Diego told my other son, ‘Charlie, I got shot.’ He asked him, ‘Where?’ He reached out, and his brother just passed out,” said Agar.His brother Diego was rushed to a hospital, where he passed away. Agar says Diego was shot twice in the chest.
“It’s something I don’t wish on nobody. Life will never be same when you lose a child, especially from gun violence,” said a tearful Agar.The next day, a swat team was sent to the mobile home park, but the suspect wasn't there. That same day, 20-year-old Kai Espinoza turned himself in to police.Agar, who says he doesn't know Espinoza, is now mourning her firstborn son.
“I want justice for my kid. He was a good kid. It’s not fair to take somebody's life like that. It’s not yours to take,” said Agar.Anyone with information related to the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 888-580-8477.
