Three reader comments about Juan Alcova Giron

Juan had come from San Diego for an annual company meeting and was staying in South Central. He was murdered; shot near the heart and died instantly a few moments afterwards. My brother was a person who was always making individuals laugh, a person who loved kids, and a hard worker. If anyone knows anything, I please ask that you may just say something, you can do this anonymously, it'll help alot. Pleasee help my family by doing this!

I didn't know Juan too well but everytime I saw him in the halls, he always had a smile on his face and really friendly person.
