DALLAS - A Northwest Dallas man died yesterday in an apparent game of Russian roulette. Police say Luis Bocanegra, 32, was drinking and snorting cocaine with a friend in their apartment in the 3000 block of Valley Meadow Drive. They then decided to play Russian roulette with a .38 revolver. The two took turns putting the gun to their heads and pulling the trigger, police said. On one of Bocanegra’s turns, the gun fired. He was dead when emergency crews responded.
There's a fine line we tight-rope across here at WWCD, and that's dealing with death. 99% of the time it's a stay-away, but it's not all drunk-driving accidents and cancer victims. Every once in a while you get a Luis Bocanegra, who lived life like everyone else only jokes about at mere football and imported beer parties. This bro's lived more in one drug and adrenaline-fueled night than most mortals do in a lifetime, and went out guns blazin' like only he knew how [editor: scrap the pun if too soon]. Only Luis, his roulette partner, and God know how hard he must have rolled when it wasn't a Sunday. If those nights didn't involve pistol-whipping a hooker outside of a high-stakes cock-fighting ring, I will be sorely disappointed.
