UPDATE JAN. 29: Family members have identified the man shot while working on a vehicle as Jorge Prado.
Prado loved cars and fixed them for a living. He was also father to 6 children.
“It’s been numb, it’s been pretty numb for them,” says Prado's nephew.
His daughter, Stacey, wrote a letter to her father to tell him how much she will miss him. Prado was found by one of his children after he had been shot.
“The youngest one was the one that found him," says Prado's nephew. "When he heard the gunshots he ran out to get his dad and patch him up.”
Metro is still searching for who is responsible. The family is asking for anyone with information to give police a call.
His identity has yet to be confirmed by the coroner. At this time, no one has been arrested for the shooting.
