Less than an hour before he died, the 22-year-old man shot in Harrisburg Tuesday night stopped by his dad's house and told him he loved him, said his father.

Jorge Guillen Jr.

"The only family I have, the only son I have they killed in a terrible way," said Jorge Guillen of Harrisburg.

He said his son, Jorge Guillen Jr., was shot four times in the face and chest at 16th and Berryhill streets around 5:44 p.m. Tuesday.

He said he was sitting on his porch when Jorge Jr. drove by and said "Dad I love you."

"I just can't believe it, I just spoke to him on my porch," he said. About half an hour later, there was a knock at his door to tell him his son had been shot. By the time he got to the hospital, his son had died.

"He's the only family I have," Guillen said.

"The only family you have taken away, there's no worse," he said. "I hope they get the person" who killed him, he added.

He said his son has a three-year-old child. He dropped out of school in ninth grade, and didn't have a job, said his dad.

His son was "a good kid," said his dad. "He is not a bad criminal."

But he chose a life on the streets, he said.

"I told him to walk away from the street, but he did not listen to me," he said.

Living on the street, he told his son "you will either get locked up in jail or you will get killed. He did not believe it would happen to him. He got killed a terrible way."

Guillen said he hopes the killer surrenders to police. "He can't live forever running," he said.
