ROBBERY. ERICK HERNANDEZ HAS A
LOOK AT THE IMPACT HE HAD ON
THE LIVES OF EVERYONE WHO KNEW
HIM.
>> IT’S IT’S THE RIGHT THERE.
THAT WAS THE SWEETEST GUY.
PICTURES AND MEMORIES ARE ALL
OREGON HAS LEFT OF HIS FRIEND
DOUG MORGAN. HE WOULD BUY
PRESENTS ALL YEAR LONG FOR ALL
THESE FRIENDS AND HAD KIDS AND
HE WOULD TAKE THOSE PRESENTS ON
CHRISTMAS EVE AND PUT THEM ON
THEIR PORCH. HE WOULD WRAP THEM
ALL WITH COMIC PAPER. IT WAS
SO BEAUTIFUL.
BUT MISS HIM SO MUCH. THE 2 MEN
AT ONE OF THE LIVE SHOWS
YOU SEE HIM WALK AROUND TOWN IN
A NEWSPAPER HELP. HE’S BLUE IN
THIS AND HE’S DOING THAT.
A FAN OF MUSIC DAD WOULD ALWAYS
GO SEE CLOUD PLAY. HE WOULD
COME TO OUR SHOW AND HE WOULD
DO THIS CRAZY. DOUG DANCE IN
FRONT OF THE BEXAR AND THERE.
WE JUST ALL LOVE HE DUG FOR
MANY YEARS WAS A DOORMAN, A
TACKLE AND HE AND OWNER OF
MIDDLE RAM. YEAH, WE’RE GREAT
FRIENDS. DOUG WOULD HAVE DONE
ANYTHING. HE WOULD HAVE DONE
ANYTHING FOR 4 FOR RAHM AND AND
VICE VERSA. ACCORDING TO
WITNESSES, THE NIGHT OF THE
SHOOTING HE DUG WAS SHOT AS HE
ATTEMPTED TO SAVE ANOTHER
CO-WORKER. DOUG WAS A HERO LIKE
THAT. APPARENTLY SHOT RAM.
FIRST. AND THEN HE STARTED TO
SHOOT SUNSHINE AND DOUG’S
PUSHED HER DOWN.
AND HE SHOT WHILE THE NICE
SUNSHINE CO 2 WAS STILL HIT.
MORGAN BELIEVES DOES PUSHING
HER DOWN IS PROBABLY WHAT SAVED
HER LIFE CLOUD. NOT SURPRISED
BY THAT MOVES. AS DOUG ALWAYS
THOUGHT OF OTHERS REALLY GOOD
FRIEND AND I’M MISSING HIS
LIFE. AND THEN LEE ONE NEVER TO
BE FORGOTTEN. I LIKE TO BE LIKE
