Five reader comments about Armando Avalos
I came across this post a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to learn more details ever since. After reading comments posted before me, I think this might be the Armando Avalos I knew when I was younger. He would have attended Jordan High School and graduated class of ’99.
If there is anyone reading who can confirm and re-post, it would be greatly appreciated.
Tragic story to read.
My condolences to his family and friends.
