“There’s a hole,” she said. “Empty, a loss and just sad for my cousin April, my cousin Phil and Danielle, my cousin Greg and Jocelyn, my cousin Santos, for April’s mother, his brother, and his sisters, nieces and nephews,” Lasker said.
Lasker says the families are grateful for the love and support.
“Just overwhelmed with our heart to see so many people come together for the heart of the family,” she said.
On the night of the crash, investigators say Espinoza had bloodshot eyes and his breath smelled like alcohol.
After the sobriety test, Espinoza told officers, “I want to call my lawyers.”
Court documents reveal Espinoza was charged with a misdemeanor for drinking and driving in 2004 and 2011.
As for the families, they say they just want justice.
“Don’t let him out anymore, don’t give him another chance. This is enough,” Lasker said.
