Emilio was among dozens at a party Sunday in the 7900 block of Chadwick.

“There was an argument before that in the back yard. At that point, a guy said, he was going to blow it up and he started shooting,” Joseph Hall said. “I was trying to get my people out of there and trying to get home safely.”

“I saw all the blood on the floor next to his car. That’s when I got scared and started crying,” said Emilio’s friend Gilberto Gonzalez Jr. “I couldn’t believe it, I thought it was a dream.”

“It’s really heartbreaking. Because when he died, he had things in the trunk that he just got for our baby,” said Delilah Winters.
