He was on parole at the time of the shooting for a robbery took place in December 2011, the Morning News reported. Hernandez and another person allegedly made 'vulgar' remarks toward a friend of the victim at a convenience store on Royal Lane in Northwest Dallas. When the victim walked over to confront them, the person with Hernandez apologized and invited the victim into their car to share a cigarette, according to a police report obtained by the Morning News.

The person then pointed to a silver revolver in the victim's face and demanded property. When the victim resisted, he was pistol-whipped while Hernandez went through his pockets, according to court documents.

Hernandez was pulled over in a traffic stop a short time later and a police officer noticed blood inside the car. Hernandez also had heroin and a .38-caliber gun in the car, authorities said.

He pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery and was sentenced to two years in prison.
