CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It was a somber evening on the Westside as the community there gathered to remember Jordan Bermudez.

The 9-year-old's life was cut short on Friday, July 11, after being struck by a car at the Lulac Villa Park Apartments on Horne Rd.

"Everything happened so fast," Jordan's mom, Vivian said.
