Gabe was stabbed to death at the Walmart in the Calallen-area on August 23. The Calallen High School football and soccer player was 18-years-old.
The man accused of killing him in an apparently random attack, 20-year-old Billy Ferguson, was arrested at the scene and remains in the Nueces County Jail on a $1 million bond.
