Eddie Reynoso, a host at Rich's, recalled the moment he was attacked: "I feel something kinda like explode almost like something popped. And by then I was already falling to the ground." He initially feared he was shot through the eye, emphasizing the physical and psychological trauma caused by such violent actions.
Hernan Garduno Hernandez's attorney claimed, "I don't think he specifically intended to hurt anyone based on their sexual orientation," suggesting a lack of awareness about the targeted demographic, despite police assertions to the contrary.
Investigators have tied Hernandez to recent hateful attacks in Hillcrest, stating that despite his attorney's claims, he was a longtime resident and aware of the area's LGBTQ+ community.
