Eric's family tells KRDO13 that they are also searching for answers.
"It's been horrible. The person who murdered him is still out there. And it's just, it's awful knowing that, you know, every time I look at his, his um card from the funeral. And it just breaks my heart," says Eric's aunt, Alexandria Torres.
Family and friends say Torress was shot after celebrating his 21st birthday and may have been shot by someone who had been denied entry to his party earlier that night.
