Santos Garcia, brother of the 16-year-old shot near East High School earlier this week, said his brother was not targeted specifically by the shooters, and that this week has been a nightmare for the entire family.
Luis Garcia is described as a passionate soccer player, who always worked hard and made others laugh.
Santos said Luis is the youngest of three siblings, at only 16 years old. He spoke with us from Denver Health, where his brother Luis has been since Monday.“Monday, I got ready for work, maybe around 6:30 [in the morning]. And for some reason, he [Luis] was awake at that time," said Santos. “He was telling me about what he wanted to do that day because we were going to celebrate a cousin's birthday.
Santos said his brother was not targeted specifically by the shooters, and that this week has been a nightmare for the entire family.“A funny guy. He always makes everyone laugh, doesn't matter how you look or where you come from. He's always supportive," said Santos, describing Luis.
