The events leading up to Carlos’s death paint a picture of an ordinary evening turned tragic. He spent time with family at a Cardinals stadium tailgate, exchanging banter with loved ones before parting ways. Little did anyone know that this would be their final interaction with Carlos.
Later that night, Carlos made a routine trip to a nearby gas station to purchase cigarettes and lottery tickets. It was during this mundane errand that tragedy struck. An assailant, still unidentified, emerged from a white Toyota Corolla and fatally stabbed Carlos before fleeing the scene.
