“We will make that memorial a special event here at the Mercedes school district,” Superintendent Daniel Trevino said. “He will never be forgotten.”
Family, friends and the community will come together for Cinco’s memorial in his hometown of Mercedes.
Cinco is a graduate of the MercedesHigh School class of 2005.
The memorial will be held at the Mercedes Early College Academy auditorium on Feb. 5 at 10 a.m.
