Father mourns SJSU student killed in shooting at San Francisco’s Dolores Park – NBC Bay Area

A father speaks out after his 19-year-old son was killed in a shooting in San Francisco’s Dolores Park.

Luis Manuel Arguello-Inglis was shot multiple times and killed on Dolores Street on Wednesday evening.

There was a makeshift memorial in Dolores Park where people laid flowers and photos on a bench on Saturday.

As police try to find suspect Irving Arguello, the victim’s father said the loss of his son has left a void in the family’s hearts that can never be filled.

Irving was too distraught to speak on camera, but he told NBC Bay Area on Saturday that Luis was born in San Francisco, was a good student and graduated from Lowell High School.

Irving Arguello added that Luis was a freshman at San Jose State University studying communications and his passions included weight training and Thai martial arts.

He also said that Luis was smart, humble and kind-hearted, that he was full of joy and always wanted to help others and give back.

According to Irving, Luis was also working on becoming an EMT and pursuing his dream of becoming a firefighter in San Francisco.

The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department tip line at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with “SFPD.”
