Ralph Michael Lopez, 34, of San Antonio, Texas, died from multiple gunshot wounds in the driveway of his South Side home on August 11, 2014. He was married to Mandy Lopez and was the father of seven children: Giovanni, Nicholas, Alexis, Michael, Alyssa, Ralph Michael III, and Alannah Lopez. His parents, Evangelina Franchett and Ralph Michael Lopez Sr., and sisters including Jennifer L. Jackson survived him.

A brief argument took place and Osborne shot Lopez six times; prosecutors later said Aguilar told Osborne to shoot. No weapon was found on Lopez and Osborne claimed self-defense. Osborne was convicted of murder in January 2017 and received an 80-year prison term plus a $10,000 fine; Aguilar was charged and awaiting trial at that time.

Ralph’s family remembered him as a good man and a devoted father. Does anyone have details about the moments leading up to the shooting or knew Ralph and can add context about him?
