Bill Keefe, a friend of Otero, said he called the victim, who is known as Bomby, as soon as he learned of the shooting.

"I tried calling him. I got no response. (I) got a really bad feeling," he said. "He's been my barber for ever since he's worked here."

Keefe said he would like to comfort Otero's wife in her time of need.

"(I) just want to find out where his wife lives so we can do something for her," he said.

Deputies haven't said what led up to this shooting or given any information regarding the gunman.
