His friend, who died from a gunshot wound, never mentioned his famous cousin. “It wasn’t even something he was telling people. We have to mention it because it is quite striking to be said. But he didn’t like us talking about it“.

If you see her, please contact the police,” she said. urged in a press release issued by the San Antonio Express-News.
