“Six weeks ago two people got shot, and not even a week ago they came by — and I don’t know if it’s auto or semi-auto or full-auto fire, I don’t know — but someone shot at the hotel,” Foehner said at the time. “This is not how I want my neighborhood.” Aguilar said he last saw Gonzalez more than a year ago, when he came by asking for some loose change and bread for sandwiches.
