After their father was found dead in Mountain View in 2022, the Santos family's life changed forever, and they are still searching for his killer.
"My dad kept us together with the family, he always brought us together, he was with us, he made us united," Keira Santos remembers her father.
Keira, Sara, Abram, and the rest of the seven siblings, say that they suffer from the absence of their dad, a loss that they say has grown every day since he died.
According to San Diego police, Abraham had upper body wounds. Detectives believe he was killed in a different location and then his body was dumped on the ramp leading to 43rd Street at Interstate 805 in Mountain View.
