Emmanuel Jose Felix Lopez of San Joaquin County believed he had survived the worst night of his life after masked gunmen opened fire at a child’s birthday party in Stockton, Calif., on Nov. 29, a massacre that left four people dead and at least 13 others wounded. Among the injured was Lopez’s 9-year-old daughter, who was shot in the head.
One month later, Lopez was dead himself.
The 33-year-old was fatally shot on Dec. 28 at an apartment complex in Stockton in what police have described as a possibly gang-related killing, according to Yahoo! News. His death has added another layer of grief and confusion to a city still reeling from one of its deadliest mass shootings in recent history.
