over the weekend and leaves behind two boys including a newborn. amanda? >> reporter: reggie, he says his 31-year-old son was a father of two young children. he says the family is originally from texas, but darryl junior was in san francisco for the weekend for work. he was in san francisco for the weekend working the music entertainment scene as an artist, manager, promoter and marketer. >> he was in san francisco doing a job, and when they finished the job they left, and that's the end of my son right there. >> early monday morning darryl, jr. was driving this black suv heading eastbond on i-80. he was approaching treasure island when someone in a gray or silver sedan fired shots

him and injuring two others. he picked up the phone and called the medical examiner himself. >> he said, yeah, i can tell you his height, gave me some stuff, you know, markings on his body and i knew right then that was my son. >> reporter: a man family and friends have always called him little pooh. darryl, jr. was dad to a 10-year-old and newborn baby. >> his oldest son adored him, he just thinks the world of him, thinks he's mr. super man. >> reporter: for now the stanettes don't know what to think. >> i went through this before and by all means don't want to be going through it now.
