Sports were a passion for 22-year-old Angel Torres.
"One of our favorite things about him was always how much he loved and knew so much about sports," said his aunt Donna Hernandez. "He just had a mind for the statistics of it."
And sports is what led Torres out on Saturday, December 4, and into Sunday, December 5, 2021.
"He had gone out to watch a bunch of college basketball previous that night, and then he went out with friends. They were at an after-hours club," she said.
The club was located on the 3200 block of North Front Street.
Just before 4:30 a.m., police were called for reports of a shooting.

"When they came outside, somebody drove up towards the corner and then began to shoot with an automatic weapon," said Hernandez.
Torres and 22-year-old Brian Madera were killed. A third was injured.
A camera did capture images of the alleged suspect's vehicle.
"It's either a dark blue or green, hunter greenish SUV. It had a broken tail light on the left rear side, and it did have a tire on the back of it which the wheel does not have a cover," she said.
The entire vehicle had dark tinted windows.
