Jorge Arbaiza, a loving grandfather from Texas, tragically lost his life in a senseless act of violence. While ordering Happy Meals for his grandchildren at a McDonald's restaurant in Houston, he was caught in the crossfire of a gunfight between two groups of men.
"I'm dying. I'm going to die."
Despite being rushed to the hospital, Arbaiza succumbed to his injuries. In his final moments, he made the sign of the cross and began to pray.
The shooting has left the community reeling, with Sheriff Ed Gonzalez calling it "senseless violence." The owner of the McDonald's restaurant expressed deep sorrow for the family's loss and pledged cooperation with the authorities.
One of the men involved in the shooting was also injured and taken into custody. Investigators have identified multiple suspects and are using security camera footage to track them down.
In a tragic twist, authorities revealed that the handgun used in the shooting was modified with a "Glock switch," transforming it into an automatic weapon. Sheriff Gonzalez has vowed to support a bill criminalizing the possession and use of such devices in Texas, calling them a "serious threat" to the community.
The bill, if passed, will be named in honor of Arbaiza, a man who tragically lost his life while simply trying to bring joy to his grandchildren. His death serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of gun violence and the urgent need for stricter gun control measures.
