"I remember him looking at me," he recalled. "Gave me his thumbs up, and he said, ‘I promise I’ll be home. I promise I’ll be home.’"
On Nov. 18 around 2 a.m., the young man was shot and killed in his truck while leaving a concert at Northwest 35th Street and Angle Avenue near Meecham International Airport.
Police say a Hispanic male who was in a group of several other Hispanic males and females pulled out a gun and shot Laguna Jr. while he was in the driver’s seat. He later died at the hospital.
Fort Worth investigators tell FOX 4 none of the witnesses are giving up any of the names involved.

"He had three to four years planned out. He was loving life. He loved music and dancing," Laguna Sr. said.
Laguna Jr. graduated from James Martin High School last May and was enrolled at Tarrant County College. He planned to go to the Navy, just like his father.
"This is far worse than anything I’ve ever felt," Laguna Sr. said. "And I wouldn’t wish something like this on anybody else."

The friends told the family there was a verbal altercation with a different group of people as they were leaving the concert. As they were leaving, that's when Laguna Jr. was shot.
