GLENDALE, Colo. ( KDVR ) — The best friend of a 20-year-old man who was shot to death inside his Glendale apartment is speaking out for the first time.
Diego Torres was at the apartment trying to protect his friend when shots were fired.
“I want justice for my friend, he didn’t deserve to go like this,” said Torres.

He spent two weeks at Denver Health after being shot 10 times in the early morning hours of April 5.
He was released on his birthday — April 16 — but he is still left with questions about why someone would do this.
“It has been a process, to be honest, to be waking up every day next to your friend, and then he’s not here no more,” said Torres.
It’s hard for him to accept the fact his best friend since high school and roommate, Gianni Fernandez, is gone.
“It just feels strange it doesn’t feel right,” Torres said.
Police said on April 5 at around 2:30 in the morning, 21-year-old Sarah Sandoval , a woman Fernandez met on Instagram two months prior, was invited to his Urban Phenix apartment.
