While authorities are not releasing the names of those killed in the incident, friends and family said they identified one of the deceased as Kendric Wade, a longtime mechanic who is remembered for loving both his family and a good joke.
“He never had a bad word with anyone,” brother-in-law Martin Cameron, who grew up one street over from the mechanic, said in an interview.
The 45-year-old mechanic from Mississippi reportedly worked at Bemer Plus on South Post Oak:
On Friday afternoon around 4:00 p.m., police say the shooter, who Wade’s family identified as an acquaintance, attacked with multiple customers and employees inside the business.

May these families and victims know peace.
This is Kendric Wade, the mechanic killed at Bemer's Plus. Family tells me he recently married the love of his life from Jamaica and was always willing to help others. In fact, they say he fed; helped the alleged shooter when he got fired. pic.twitter.com/xvzl0YrD0A
