Two reader comments about Sergio Hernandez Trejo
Sergio was my cousin. This was a such a loss for us giving the fact that he left behind a 2yr old son. He was on the phone with his fiance when these cowards just shot him for no reason. He had no gang ties was a honest working man. Gang initiation is what i have made it the reason. Thank goodness they have both of them in custody now awaiting trial. And people, these bastards were 29 and 30!!!!! I am so glad they are locked up now like the dogs that they are. What person in there 30's wants to going a gang???? We just celebrated his birthday at the cementery. It was supposto be a surprise party, so we still celebrated in his honor.......I miss you dearly Sergio. We all do.....LOVE YOU
