“I don’t think the English language can even attempt, for anybody, to even describe what Aiden’s mother went through after he said ‘ouch,’” King said.
Eriz fired a shot at the car after his girlfriend, who was driving their car, cut Aiden’s mom off on State Route 55.
He looked as if he brightened up the world everywhere he went and truly one of God’s little angels,” Eriz said.
“And I am so sorry for ever hurting him, and for the pain that he went through because of me.”.
The shocking violence on the freeway sparked a manhunt that ended with the pair’s arrest on June 6, 2021, around two weeks after the shooting. »
