It's not easy, going on with life after a violent death such as Arnaldo's. Time stands still, there are no answer's, no closure, no Justice. Rodriguez was talking to workers in a restaurant when a gunman walked up to him. The assailant spun him with one hand while holding the gun with the other. The workers should have seen the gunman, but would not tell police what they knew. Arnaldo died in the arms of a neighbor woman. He named the gunman before he died. The woman has not told police. Arnaldo was outside looking for his younger brother at the time of the shooting.
