A local bail bondsman shot and killed on the job last month was remembered Saturday at a funeral service.
A friend of Antonio Cooks family wrote on the back of their car “Bail Bondsman Antonio Cooks, gone but not 4gotten.”
The writing included Cooks’ job title because the family has a lot of questions about how he could have been killed trying to do his job.
Cooks’ mother, Yvonne, said he was a good person.
“He wasn’t out there on drugs, wasn’t doing nothing but trying to earn a living for his family,” Williams said.
Williams said she’s upset about the situation and wants to understand what happened to Cooks. They’re still waiting on answers from police about how Cooks and another bondsman were shot while trying to serve an arrest warrant at the Mayfair Village Apartments.
