Saved his grandmother, bullets caught him
He was a dreamer, with hopes of turning his life around and becoming a welder. He was a little brother, one of two sons in the family.
While walking home from the store in the cold with his grandmother, he was shot at multiple times. He pushed his grandmother down in the snow, and was hit in the leg, hip and the back of his head by bullets. “He’s my hero,” Theresa Brown, his mother, said. “He saved my mom. ... He tried to run and bullets caught him.”
Daekwon Lee Tobar, 17, died of gunshot wounds on Feb. 17, 2018, in South Bend, Indiana.
