"You're not alone. Many parents that are going through what your going through. Come and honor your child publicly, you'll be welcomed with open arms."

SAN ANTONIO — Lori Rocha has been fighting for Justice for her son, Aaron Rocha since November of 2016.  

Aaron Rocha was shot and killed during a road rage incident on Huebner Road, police say.  

Lori Rocha recalls getting the phone call, that her son had been murdered.

"I fell to the ground and started screaming so loud. I didn't realize that my neighbor had called police, because they didn't know what was wrong with me," Rocha said. 

Aaron Rocha's murder remains unsolved, and his mother Lori, continues fighting for justice. 

"I'm his advocate. I'm his voice, and in turn I've become an advocate for other parents," Rocha said.
