Family members of Cesar Moreno-Pompa delivered an emotional message to whoever killed the 30-year-old during an attack that Garland police describe as road rage.
"Look at this picture because this is the person that you took away from us," Moreno-Pompa’s cousin, Jael Rios, said. "I would ask you to ask God for forgiveness. I would ask you to ask God for the strength to forgive yourself and for the strength to turn yourself in."
Garland police said the shooting that killed Moreno-Pompa happened just before 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 23, along the southbound lanes of 635, between Centerville Road and LaPrada Drive.They said the suspect was in a dark-colored, mid-size SUV. Moreno-Pompa’s passenger was singing a song and recording a mirrored video on his cell phone moments before the shooting.Moreno-Pompa’s family said the passenger, who was not hurt, told them it was the shooter’s vehicle. They’ve provided the video to police.
"We do not know what the road rage entailed or how it started, but we know how it ended," Garland Police Department officer Matt Pesta said."We want to talk to people who maybe witnessed it," Pesta said."Somebody has to know something," Rios said."My brother carried no guns, he never had guns with him," the victim’s sister, Oralia Moreno, said."Doing everything he could for my mom. He was a big support for her," she said.
