Eric McCormick, seen in this surveillance video, tried to kill himself with a gun, but was taken off life support Monday.
Word of his imminent death spared his victim’s 15-year-old daughter from having to testify before a grand jury Monday, family said.
“The District Attorney said ‘Let’s wait and see what happens,’” the victim’s brother, Kirt Gonzales, 46, said. “My sister-in-law would have had to see videos and all. Thank God she’s not going to have to do that.”
