Police said the incident happened on Friday afternoon outside of a home on Thurston Circle, where four suspects drove up and attempted to rob the 43-year-old victim. It was not clear whether Aguilar was resistant or tried to fight back, but police say one of the suspects produced a handgun and shot him several times.
