The family of Jose Ervin Jr. spoke to News 5 Saturday and urged the man who killed him to turn himself in to the police.
“I just want to tell the guy, whoever you is, we know who you is, to ‘turn yourself in.’ You see what you done to my family,'” said his father, Jose Ervin Sr.
“He’s got twins here, a boy and a girl. They need their daddy now,” said Ervin. “We got to step up and raise our grandkids. You took a good man away.”
Ervin Jr. was with a group at the Turney Pit Stop gas station on Turney Road Friday morning. They were ordering food and drinks after leaving a neighborhood bar.
Surveillance video obtained by News 5 from the gas station shows an argument between Ervin Jr. and another man in a white shirt. Ervin and a woman who identified herself as a bartender walked back to the car after receiving their order.
The two men begin to fight, but the two women intervene. In the video, you can see Ervin Jr. back away as the man in the white shirt pulls out a gun from his bag and chases him across Turney Road. you can hear several gunshots fired at Ervin as he trips and falls on a curb in front of the Dunkin’.
