Antonio Lopez
Antonio Lopez, 38, was shot and killed Feb. 21, 2014 near Eighth and San Salvador streets, a short distance from the college campus. Antonio Lopez was shot twice in the back.
The medical examiner’s officer said Antonio Lopez died from two bullet wounds to his back.
“I honestly believe this is a cover up,” said Laurie Valdez, the mother of Antonio Lopez’s 4-year-old son. “They are trying to figure out how to cover it up.”
Valdez said Antonio Lopez might have been targeted because he was an undocumented immigrant.
“I demand to know why this happened, that they felt killing him was their only option,” Valdez said. “Why was he targeted? Is it because he fit the profile of an undocumented day laborer? Or was it because he couldn’t speak English?”
