This undated image provided by the family via La Raza newspaper shows Rene Trejo. Trejo, 28, worked hard as a bricklayer in Memphis, and loved soccer so avidly that he played on three different teams. But his sister-in-law says his plan was to move back eventually to his homeland of Mexico where he'd been sending money to help his impoverished mother open a restaurant. He was killed in a nighttime robbery attempt on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013. (AP Photo/Family Photo via La Raza)
