"I go to sleep with it in on my mind," Alfredo Giddens Sr. said in an interview with KSAT.com six months after the shooting. "I wake up with it on my mind. It's just hard. I just want some closure."

Giddens Jr. had a mechanic shop on New Braunfels Street and was well known around town as "Big Fredo," KSAT reported in 2015.

"I go to the cemetery, and I talk to him, but it seems like it goes on deaf ears," Giddens told KSAT. "Somebody needs to step up and say something."
