UPDATED STORY:
The wife of a man shot and killed during a burglary is pleading with killers to come forward.
Maria Diaz has spent the last week living in a nightmare.
"They ruined my life, they ruined my kids life, but they're ruining their lives all for a stupid cell phone," Diaz said.
According to Metro, they are currently looking for a group of teenagers who may be behind the shooting.
"He probably knew they were following him, that's why he tried to resist, so, that they could take away his watch or something," Diaz said.
Now Diaz, only has one question for the suspects.
"I would love to see them face to face...and ask them if it was worth it?" Diaz said.
The Diaz family will hold a car wash at the KMart on Bonanza and Nellis to help raise funds for funeral cost, tomorrow morning.
