GoFundMe<\/a> for the victim’s family remembers him fondly.<\/p>\n“Thomas lived with a mental disability, but despite that, he showed up every single day with love, strength, and dedication for his family,” the online fundraiser reads. “He had a kind heart, trusted people, and did his best to provide and be present for his children. Anyone who knew him knows he did not deserve what happened to him.”<\/p>\n
While law enforcement is keeping mum about the exact circumstances of the killing, King’s family believes he was being bullied at work \u2014 likely due to a hearing and speech impediment.<\/p>\n
His sister told the TV station that her brother largely kept to himself but might have been targeted over his disability.<\/p>\n
“I feel like they felt like he was an easy target,” she said.<\/p>\n
The GoFundMe also levels additional accusations of bullying at the defendant, without mentioning him by name, and claims he “had previously bullied him and took advantage of his kind nature and limited mental capabilities.”<\/p>\n
Another sibling said the family was at a loss to explain the murder.<\/p>\n
“We want to know why they did this to him,” the victim’s other sister told WFAA. “We want to know the answers.”<\/p>\n
In a statement provided to the TV station, Taco Casa expressed sadness for “the tragic loss of life involving two individuals who were both employees of our organization” while stressing the incident occurred “off company property and outside of working hours.” The company also said it had no prior indication the men were at odds.<\/p>\n
“At this time, we are not aware of any prior issues or conflicts between the individuals involved,” the statement from the Fort Worth-based company reads. “Taco Casa is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive work environment for all team members, and situations like this are both shocking and profoundly distressing for our entire organization.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inset left: Gregory Lewis (Tarrant County Jail).
