GARLAND (CBSDFW.COM) - He was a well liked Dallas County employee, husband and youth football coach.
So why would anyone want to murder George Moss?
That's what family and friends who attended a vigil for him on Thursday night were asking.
There were 30 balloons rising into the night sky for every one of George Moss's 30 years on earth.
But there were countless tears falling from his wife and other loved ones who gathered in a parking lot to remember him.
"You just never think that something this heinous happen to someone who's never done wrong by anyone," said Andrea Moss, George's sister.
Someone shot and killed Moss on Saturday morning outside his Forney home just after his wife had left to go to the grocery store.
No one at the vigil can understand why.
"That happened you know ... the time frame where it happened ... just everything surrounding it literally was devastating," his sister said.
On Thursday night at Lakeview Centennial High School, more than 100 people lit candles and sang hymns in memory of the Prairie View A&M graduate who worked as a Dallas County housing department manager and volunteered as a youth football coach and referee.
"George touched a lot of lives starting with babies all the way up to elderly people," his wife said.
They were clearly moved by the gesture.
A family in pain and struggling to deal with a murder that no one as of yet can explain.
