Thomas Gonzales
Michelle Phillips had just left work on Jan. 5, 2020, when her phone rang.
A woman frantically told her that her son Thomas Gonzales had been shot outside his home. Before Phillips could ask any questions, someone grabbed the phone, said, “Your son is dead,” and hung up.
......................
Someone in a passing vehicle had opened fire on Gonzales – shooting him multiple times – after an argument broke out.
“I was so numb for so long with so much pain and grief. That hasn’t eased,” Phillips told the Journal on Thursday. “… I have to pray every morning to get up and face the day. It’s as fresh today as the day it happened.”
