"It's not easy," said Jose Garcia, a brother to one of the victims. "Just going through a tough time right now."

Asleep while two shootings happened in the home near 10th and Wisconsin Avenue, Garcia woke up to a nightmare.

"My brother isn't here no more. He's gone," Garcia said.

Garcia said his nephew frantically came to him after making a grim discovery just after 3:00 a.m. Sunday, July 30th.

"His son woke me up, told me his dad got shot," Garcia said.

Luis Garcia

Garcia called 911. But by the time help arrived, 42-year-old Luis Garcia and his best friend were dead. Luis Garcia was a married father of three. The tragic situation was even more difficult to handle because Garcia said a family member was the gunman.

"One of my cousins came over and he was drinking with them and they got into a little argument and he came back with a gun and shot him. Shot him and his best friend," Garcia said. "It was probably over something really dumb."
