This time on Killers Caught on Camera, a terrifying day amid the heat and dust of New Mexico.

When we're dealing with a person who just committed a mass shooting, we don't know what the mentality of this person is.

And in snowbound Colorado, a shocking discovery.

The scene itself looked like some sort of altercation had taken place that was quite violent.

It might be blood.

It just sounds like something bad is happening to her.

We know what happened because the video tells us what happened.

I heard some gunshots.

Drop it!

Whatever it is, drop it!

That does not prove that I killed my wife. The camera doesn't lie.

In northern New Mexico... In Rio Arriba County is La Madera.

La Madera, New Mexico, is a very small community, a very rural area. There are a lot of families that live there. Everyone virtually knows everyone else.

911, what's your emergency? Ma'am, I really need you to take a deep breath and tell me I can't understand you. What's going on?

A 911 call comes in. It is clearly panic. There's a lot of yelling. There's a lot of screaming.

Then essentially the call goes dead.

Deputies arriving on the scene were met by distressed neighbors.

Were you here?

Yeah, I was here for the first one.

The first law enforcement agency that arrives is the Ruririba Sheriff's Office.

They discover three victims.

Max was shot, and I was over the checkers here.

The victims were identified as Max Trujillo. his stepson, Brendan Herrera, and Brendan's mother, Maria, known to friends and family as Brenda.

Brendan's still alive, making noise.

We need an ambulance here.

One individual, the mother, Brenda, was still alive at the time, so they were trying to get medical attention for her. RA7 sensor, we're going to have two possible 10-7, 141.

Barely breathing. We're going to need 55 here.

The other two individuals, Brendan and Max, were deceased at the time that law enforcement got there.

The deputies on scene urgently needed to locate the shooter.

Sheriff's office.

Officers are thinking about if there's a suspect still inside of the residence.

Sheriff's permit!

Are they at risk right now as well? A lot of weapons here.

Did you hear anything that they were fighting about?

More residents appeared on scene.

This is a crime scene. You're going to have to go over here. I'm really sorry, guys. This is a crime scene. You're going to have to stay over there, okay? We have the medics coming over here.

This was Brenda's teenage daughter, Carissa.

My mom was such a selfless person. She was very inspirational. She was my best friend. I wouldn't go anywhere without my mom. She was very caring. She wore her heart on her sleeve.

Max was a steelworker and got together with Brenda just before Carissa was born.

My dad's personality was so goofy. I mean, this man would light up a room. Anytime he would come in, he would just joke, and he would laugh and make us laugh, and I loved his personality so much. He was a good man. They were best friends. They would support each other no matter what. You could tell they had true love.

Mm-hmm.

Also living at the property were two of Carissa's brothers, Damian and the third victim, Brendan.

Brendan and I, it was a couple years apart. He was just the best, most genuine soul you'd ever meet.

At the crime scene, Carissa had troubling information for the deputies.

The day of the incident, I remember just hanging out at home.

Brandon had his day off, so he was in his room watching movies. Damian was not working. He had just dropped out of college. He quit his job, so he was struggling. I remember just looking out the front door, and I mean, I see my dad walking to the door to come inside, and all of a sudden, I mean, I saw him point the gun, and you just hear the shots go off, and My dad just fell. My brother, Brendan, had heard it, and he ran out the same time my mom did it. My mom was just on the ground with my dad and told me to call 911.

She was trying to talk, and he went and grabbed the phone from my mom and threw it across the roof of the house. So we had no phone to finish calling. Damián started just fighting with Brendan. He just overpowered Brendan. And he just had the gun by his neck, between his neck and his shoulder, and he just pulled that trigger. My mom heard the gunshot, and she was just pleading, just don't do it, just don't do it.

And he just looked at her and pointed the gun straight at her. And she said, please don't do it. And he just let that one go too. I just knew if I didn't get out of there, I was going to be next. And I needed to get help. I just ran. I ran to whatever house I could find first.

Max Trujillo Sr. was shot in the back.

Brendan Herrera was shot almost execution-style in the back of the head, and Brenda was shot on the side of her head, basically on the right temple. All of those wounds were clearly from someone that intended to kill his victims.

Suspect's on. Yeah.

By the time first responders arrived, Damian had already fled the scene.

The suspect had stolen a pickup truck from that property as well as some other firearms. When we're dealing with a person who just committed a mass shooting, we don't know what the mentality of this person is. Are they going out and are they going to continue a spree of murders afterwards?

My husband... My husband is.

I don't know if he's dead or not.

I think he's dead.

While we were en route to La Madera, there was another 911 call that came out advising that a woman, she had just came home and found her husband laying shot in their front yard.

This incident had taken place 35 miles away in the equally small community of Tres Piedras.

When I arrived on.

Scene, I observed an elderly male laying down on the ground with apparent gunshot wounds.

He was deceased. The individual who shot him had also stolen his pickup truck.

The victim was Michael Kite, a retired archaeologist who had only recently moved to New Mexico.

This is a very remote area.

It would be unusual, highly unusual, to have that number of fatalities in that short of a time period that close together. So I think that at that point they probably, you know, had a good idea that they were all related.

Shortly after, those suspicions were confirmed when Herrera's trial... from La Madera was found abandoned not far away. It had run out of gas. I think it would be easy to think, well, he's just a ruthless murderer at this point on a spree. He's killing people. He's killed his own family members. Now he's killing strangers on the road.

But probably what's going on in his mind is he was desperate. He is still trying to escape. And he needs to put distance between himself and the crime scene. And the only way he's going to do that is if he has another vehicle or gas. And I think in that moment, you're not thinking about this individual as a human being. So I think it's more of a practical and instrumental, as we call it, murder. By now, Carissa's mom, Brenda, had been airlifted to the hospital. She was on life support.

I held her hand. I didn't want to leave her side. They did inform us that she was brain dead. There was no way of her coming out of it. Seeing her in that bed was the hardest thing. She didn't look like my mom anymore. I just knew that she couldn't suffer. I just knew that we had to do something about it. And I mean, she was just in pain.

And so it was about a day and we took her off life support.

Just a few hours after they received the first call, the Ria Ariba Sheriff's Office got.

Yet another 911 call.

It was reported to us that over in the community of Abiquiu, an individual was shot at the Bodie's gas station. The victim was identified as a local man. Manuel Serrano was a family man who lived in that community.

He worked as a security guard at the local Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. He was actually headed to work at the time that he was shot and killed.

Investigators were able to access the store's CCTV.

Here we see a black Chevy pickup truck pulling up to pump number six. This is the truck that was identified as being stolen from Michael Kite. At this point, there's an individual that walks outside with a straw cowboy hat and appears that he is going to be getting gas for his truck. So here you see a white Jeep pulling up to pump number four, and we see Manuel Serrano exiting his vehicle.

And the individual begins to take notice.

There doesn't appear to be any sort of communication between the two of them, but he's watching him, he's observing everything that he's doing. Manuel Serrano was still going about his business. He's actually cleaning his windshield and you see the black truck, the lights come on and the driver's side window goes down.

An arm comes out.

And the individual in that truck discharges his firearm in the direction of Manuel Serrano. From the ricochets off the pavement, we know that the gunshots are coming from him. Manuel Serrano is seen actually trying to escape the person who's shooting at him. As he's running away, that black truck is seen pulling out. This was a targeted attack. No altercation happened.

Manuel Serrano died of his wounds shortly after. For investigators, there could be no doubt what they had witnessed.

Manuel Serrano was an innocent victim who was shot in the back as a cold-blooded murder by this individual in the black truck. We were able to identify the individual as Damian Herrera.

This doesn't feel like a situation where he's got nothing else to lose because the bigger question is what does he have to gain from shooting this guy? This is so random. And so I think there must be something going on in his own mind that we don't see where this makes sense, that shooting this man is a good outcome because it either protects his escape, it protects his identity, or maybe he thinks, what if this is a cop who's after me? Or what if this guy's out to get me? So it points to paranoid delusions for me or some sort of perception that we don't have just watching this footage that's only in his own mind.

At this point, we've got multiple law enforcement agencies, you know, Española Police Department, Río Arriba County Sheriff's Department, New Mexico State Police, that are all involved in essentially this manhunt to find Damian Herrera.

Units are heading north on 84. I have a unit heading in the direction of a possible suspect, black, Silverado, driving on the shoulder, almost hitting several vehicles.

Herrera is speeding down the highway pretty quickly after killing Mr.

Serrano.

He is now driving in the northbound lane, northbound lane passing vehicle.

He might go head on.

Oh, my goodness.

You've got two law enforcement officers that are chasing him. They're pretty close behind.

Oh, he's going to wreck it.

I think he's wrecked it.

I think he's flipped.

Damien Herrera ends up pulling too far off onto the shoulder. He goes off the road, hits a rock, and it causes his truck to flip, and it rolls over.

At that point, it's a very active situation. There's dust all over the place. It's very hard to see.

Stop the ambulance!

Stop the ambulance!

Stop!

They're looking around, looking for the driver of the vehicle.

They're actually looking.

At the truck.

And it isn't until just a few seconds later that they realize that the driver is actually already out of the vehicle and begins to charge at them. Cut!

Stop it there!

Stop right there!

Cut!

Oh!

He is wild. He's trying to get guns. He is just fighting with everything that he has.

Damian Herrera is not a large man, but it took three large and very healthy, very strong police officers and a taser a couple times to get him into.

Compliance and to get him into handcuffs. That's how wild and crazy he was acting.

He's in this fight or flight mode and he is full of adrenaline.

It seems like a situation that spiraled from that first shot, and then he just kept shooting, and he kept running, and he kept attacking, and he's still in that mode when he encounters the police, and he doesn't know how to shut it off. Herrera was put in the back of the police car. Once he'd calmed down, he was able to answer the officer's questions.

I was in the train house, man. So we ran right into it over gasoline, okay? And I stuck out. Tried to take some down, me, gun.

My brother got in the middle of it.

And around enough to hit my brother, and I wrestled with my dad.

And as I was trying to get the gun away, my mom went in the middle of it and started.

Trying to hit. I don't even know if she was trying to hit me or him, but she ended up getting in the middle of it. And it was just, it was bad, dude.

I don't even really remember.

It was just so bad. The police officer then asked him about what happened with Mr. Kite. I asked him for gas. He took me to his house to go get gasoline.

He was trying to push me out of his truck as soon as we got to his house.

Okay. And I was just defending myself, dude.

And then the police officer very artfully asked, you know, was there anything else that happened?

He said, no, no, no, that's it, that's it. And then the police officer asked him about Manuel Serrano. I was cleaning the windows and he.

I don't even know what he started telling me in Spanish, dude.

And I was just like, yo, calm down. And he started arresting me.

And that's.

All that happened.

He had essentially blamed the killings on everyone else. And it's a story that is absolutely wild and unbelievable and just not supported by any evidence. He was actually even telling the police officer, you know, I'm not i'm not a violent person ask ask anybody it was just an alarming statement to hear out of his mouth considering that he had just killed five.

People damian herrera was charged with five counts of first degree murder Further charges arose from his time in custody.

While he was incarcerated at the jail in Tierra Maria, he attacked one of the guards.

This just feels like Someone who isn't of sound mind, who's making incredibly bad decisions. Maybe he's just a violent person, but there's nothing to suggest from his criminal record or from his own past that he was violent really before any of this happened. And so you've got that first incredibly violent act of shooting his stepfather and then a cascade of violence that follows from there. Damian Herrera had in fact been struggling with his mental health for some time.

We all just kind of knew that something was wrong. I mean, we could see the signs, but we never thought it would get this far. Damian had told me it would be cool to just see somebody hurt and in pain and just to see them go through something.

And I.

Think at that time, I didn't really think of it as a way of him hurting us, but at the time I knew it was weird. It was scary. Where is this coming from? And I remember my mom just reaching out to my siblings, my older ones, to just let them know we need to help him in a way. We need to get him to talk.

This is a 21-year-old man, a young man, who is in a pretty dark place. Fantasies of violence are not totally uncommon, but it is uncommon to voice to somebody else that you think this is acceptable behavior. And it borders on something that's called criminal thinking. So criminal thinking is a set of beliefs that predisposes people to engage in crimes, including violent crimes. And they include things like rationalizations that make it seem like it's okay to be violent or aggressive. that say, if I do bad things or break the law, it's because other people had it coming or that other people are out to get me.

And so it's the set of beliefs that put you as the victim often in these situations and that make it easier for you to justify lashing out against others. Herrera was found guilty of the four murders in Rio Arriba County and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences, a minimum of 120 years. The legal process in Taos County for the killing of Michael Kite is ongoing because the charge for the stolen truck is currently under appeal.

Why? Why would he do this? Why would anyone think like this? To this day, I still ask why. It was never really answered, never a question that he answered on his own. It's gut-wrenching, is what it is. There's Not a day that goes by I don't think of my parents and Brendan. I mean, there's times where I'm doing something and I'm thinking they would have enjoyed to see this. It's the hardest thing to come back to reality when I'm thinking and know that I can't pick up that phone and I can't give them a call.

I can't give my mom a hug. There's never a day that goes by. I mean, they were my everything, really.

Damian Herrera believed he could fight his way out of the scenario he'd created in his own mind. Delusions can take many forms. So they can be a very simple delusion that you can fight and flee your way out of a situation that is actually already impossible. Or it can be a situation where you see reality through distorted eyes.

And so that borders more on what we consider psychosis, where you have someone reacting to cues that aren't really there, but they're perceiving as such. And so you can have a delusion that ends up fueling a crime in itself. which is when you think that it's me or the other person, that if I don't kill them, they will kill me, even if it is completely implausible. And it was another delusion that led to a brutal murder in the cold mountains of Colorado. In the west of Colorado is Gunnison County.

Gunnison, a very rural community located in between two mountain ranges, 7,000 feet above sea level. So there is a lot of areas that are inaccessible at certain times of the year without special equipment and don't necessarily have cell phone or even radio coverage.

And so the job can get quite difficult at times.

On March 7th, 2021, police received a report from a remote corner of the county.

The sheriff's office.

Received a call about an abandoned vehicle on Alpine Plateau Road, which is the road that would lead to the Arrowhead subdivision.

Deputies made their way up the snowy trail to locate the vehicle.

It was a small Ford Orb sedan, and it appeared it had just gotten stuck in the snow going up the road.

Where was the driver of the vehicle? and why aren't they the ones calling for help?

While the deputies were on the scene, the dispatch center received another call from a nearby cabin.

911, what is your emergency?

I haven't been here for a week, and I come in and see the whole living room in a disarray, really torn up.

And then I see this body.

Laying over there by the couch. They're face down.

The body is cold. It's not moving.

Officers were confronted with a distressing scene.

There's something inside the couch.

Looking at the body, it was really hard to tell what the injuries were because there was.

A large amount of blood around it. But the body had some severe injuries to the head.

The scene itself looked like some sort of altercation had taken place that was quite violent. The whole living room was.

In disarray.

There was a bottle of lighter fluid on the counter and the coffee table was smoldering. It appeared that Some kind of a fire had either started or somebody intended to start.

In all the chaos, investigators found a promising lead.

We were able to find a set of car keys.

On those keys was a tag that had linked it to the abandoned vehicle that was called in earlier.

The car was registered to 22-year-old Anna Raskon.

Ana was the type of person that people tended to gravitate towards. She had this smile on her. She had like this light heart and she was so kind.

She did have a temper, not gonna lie.

She did have a temper and she was stubborn, but she, she was an amazing person.

Ana was born in Grand Junction, Colorado, but she moved back and forth between the city and her mother's home of Agua Prieta in Sonora, Mexico.

When she first came from Mexico, I remember she hardly knew any English, and she learned it, she picked it up so quick.

So fast.

She was really smart.

Always posing, I told you she always looked cute in people.

And a lot of people found it easy to talk to her. She for sure was the person that you would feel comfortable going to.

She always had that mother instinct.

Yeah.

She was really nourishing.

Anna was a devoted mother who had her first child at the age of 17.

I knew Anna was going to be a great mom. One of her biggest ambitions was to have that white picket fence life, having that normal life where she just kind of took care of her kids.

Everything was good. Everything was stable.

That's what she dreamed of.

Anna later moved to Rifle, Colorado, to be with a new boyfriend.

She originally had moved out there to be with her daughter's father. She kind of stayed out there after they split and ended up finding a job working at a hotel doing housekeeping, but she was more focused on raising her kids and being a mom.

For her kids.

But life grew increasingly hard.

Anna's really started struggling and feeling the pressure of being a single mom and doing things on her own. She had overdue bills. She was a negative, her bank accounts. She did express like, my life's falling apart at this point. I need some help.

Anna was prescribed antidepressants and other medication to help her mental health. But by 2020, she also began to self-medicate.

There was signs that Ana was using, but I think as a family, we all found it very hard to accept.

We didn't want to believe that.

Ana felt that she was putting herself in a dark place and she wanted to find a way to get out of it. She reached out to her mom and she asked, hey, can you take the kids just so I can get into a new apartment, find a job, get back on my feet, and then I'll.

Go back for the kids.

Anna loved being a mother, and so to have to send her children away very likely left her feeling depressed, isolated from her loved ones, and also probably there was an element of shame there. And so this cocktail of emotions, these really difficult emotions to carry, they can really set the stage for someone to start engaging in unhealthy and unhelpful coping strategies. But then that means that we can end up in kind of a cycle of suffering. So we turn to the drug use, and then our emotional and our financial pressures, they mount, they grow. And then we then turn to the drugs again, and then we fall into this loop that becomes really difficult to find our way out of.

Eventually, on Friday, March 5th, Ana and her mother arranged that Ana would drive down to Sonora, Mexico, to collect her children that weekend.

Come Sunday, I get a call from my mom, and she was like, hey, have you heard from Ana?

Nobody's heard from her.

Her phone's off.

Nobody can get in touch with her.

In Arrowhead, investigators were taken aback by the severity of the victim's injuries. She'd been bludgeoned around her face and head. Her arm was badly broken, and she had several large puncture wounds in the back of her neck.

It was a very horrific thing that took place. It might be blood.

We had found almost an antique pickaxe of some kind, maybe an ice pickaxe, something like that.

It was pretty clear that that was the murder weapon. And it absolutely came from the residence.

We were able to track down some photographs of the residence from an earlier time, and it was actually hanging on the wall above.

Kind of the door.

Through a law enforcement search database, we were able to get a description and were able to confirm that the female that was in the house was, in fact, Anna Roscoe.

I picked up the phone and said, okay, are you sitting down? And I was like, don't scare me. Be prepared because I'm gonna say something to you and it's something bad.

She just told me that. My sister was gone. I started going crazy. I didn't even listen to her anymore.

My first instinct was to go into denial because, no, that wasn't possible. And I said, finally, I was like, what happened? Like, what happened with her? And he's like, at the moment, we're treating this as a homicide, so it's under investigation.

When they called me, I started asking questions like, what the hell?

Where did this happen? How did it all go down?

And they did tell me too, there's not a lot we can tell you, but whoever did this to her is a monster.

And I.

Can tell you that the way her, I can tell you that the way her knuckles were, she defended herself to the best of her abilities.

After the realization really set in of it was a homicide investigation, it just made me think, like, who would do that.

To a person?

Like, who?

Especially her.

Outside the cabin, the snow revealed further evidence. Footprints leading to and from the property.

The initial kind of size up was two people had broken into a house for an unknown reason and one ended up dead.

We weren't sure how or why they were in the area.

Over in Rifle, investigators were given the names of people Anna had been known to associate with. One of them was known to the police.

Jorge Solis had a bit of a criminal record, mostly kind of small petty crimes, a little bit of property crime, but primarily he had drug crimes going on in his record.

Interviews with neighbors on the mountain revealed that a man fitting Solis' description had been spotted with Anna by the car early on Saturday morning.

I rolled the window down and said, you guys stuck, need help. Do you remember what this female looked like at all?

I remember very skinny.

Very skinny, straight black hair.

Later that day, the same neighbors spotted the same man further down the mountain. But this time, he was alone.

100% remember, without a shadow of a doubt, we picked up that crazy kid in the back of the truck.

Do you remember what he was wearing?

I remember big, baggy blue pants.

And I remember a big jacket.

He had that, I don't know whether it was, you know, mentally ill or drug-induced, but he was suffering some psychosis.

At that point, he became our number one suspect.

A search of Anna's vehicle revealed promising leads.

Anything here you guys see that you're gonna need for evidence?

In the midst of that search, we had located several receipts from Walmart located in Rifle, Colorado. At that time, CBI had sent agents to request surveillance around the approximate times that we saw on the receipts.

CCTV showed Anna with an unknown male.

The surveillance footage around the store picks him up.

Getting out of her car, walking into the store, and right as they walk in the store, there's a great shot of the two of them, where you can see most of their faces.

Anna's companion was wearing the same jacket and pants described by the witnesses who saw them on the mountain. Other evidence also linked him to the crime scene.

The male scene with Anna Rescoe has a very identifiable baseball cap on it.

We then locate this ball cap inside the vehicle.

The man was now positively identified as Jorge Salas.

The Walmart surveillance became a crucial piece of evidence because it linked the two of them together, which what we knew was the last known person she was with, and to the car.

We see him get in the car and drive away.

How do we go from a shopping trip to Walmart to Anna Harsko's death?

Despite the breakthrough, the trail now went cold.

Ten days after the investigation had started, we had no sign, no word of anybody seeing or hearing from Jorge Solis.

And then we kind of catch a break.

In Grand Junction... 95 miles away from the crime scene, a member of the public called the police about a man acting suspiciously.

Officers with the Grand Junction Police Department were dispatched to the area.

Hey, what's going on? Can you come talk to me, sir? What's your name? What's your last name? What's that? Well, you do, actually. In this case, you do, because there's suspicion of criminal activity, okay? So you got to identify yourself. I can't hear you. He says his name is Jay Santos.

This officer is not convinced that this person is being completely honest with him.

Is Jay your actual legal name, or is it. What? Is Jay your legal name, or is it something else?

Okay, so what's your legal name?

George. One of the officers remembers reading the bulletin about the warrant we had for a homicide suspect, and they're like, absolutely, this is the guy we're looking for.

All right, man, so you're under arrest. You've got warrants. I'm sure you knew that. That's my warrant on. Others, a few of them, we'll explain. Can't take him out of my car.

There's an unease in this interaction where he's obviously being a bit cagey. Certainly psychologically, he's trying to evade the answers to the questions. And he's probably trying to be strategic about it, but in the end, he gets detained anyway.

When Jorge was picked up by Grand Junction Police, he had a backpack with him. And we locate several items... that were, without a doubt, inside the cabin. We had contacted the cabin owner, and she had confirmed they were in the basement of the house.

Salas' fingerprint was also found on a bottle in the cabin.

We're positive this is the man who killed Anna Resco.

Agents from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation now conducted an interrogation.

You're not the first person who, in a cold, snowy area, borrowed somebody's house for a little bit to lay up for a while and warm up and stuff. But something in that house, man, something went crazy between you two. So do you know what happened? And you just don't want to tell me?

I mean, do you know what happened?

No.

Do you know, like, what happened?

No.

Talk me through that, man.

I think they got spun up on dope.

They're somewhat lost or not really sure where they're going, he now starts getting paranoid that she is a narc.

But you picked the house that you were walking to.

What do you mean by that?

Okay, you're not saying.

Anna was sacrificed.

What could have been you?

Well, you think you could have been the one that was That was killed?

Yeah.

He has this bizarre story that he was being set up and that she had to be sacrificed. And that sounds to me like a almost what's called dissociative fugue when you're like not really there. And you're taking drugs, and we know that they took drugs and that they took them together. And you're just somewhere else. You're on a different planet, and you have your own thoughts about what's going on in the world. And it translates into misperceiving reality in very weird ways.

I want to know what caused you to kill Anna. We don't know why that happened. Well, we think you do, and that's what you don't want to tell us. But as of now, it's just gonna stay as, I don't know why I killed her. I just killed her. That's how you.

Want it to be?

Okay.

What's striking is that he seems to accept that he killed her at this point, and he isn't really making an effort to patch together a plausible story for the cops.

Did you tell her what you were going to do?

Jorge Solis made a conscious decision to end Ana Riscón' s life.

Based on the scene, we know she fought because the house was torn apart.

But he went from such a violent act to, within hours, talking to people on the street nonchalantly like nothing had happened.

That tells you the kind of man he was.

Investigators had enough evidence to charge Jorge Salas with Ana's murder. On March 3rd, 2023, he was sentenced to 42 years in prison following a plea deal.

The verdict is not really what we wanted.

He took that chance for her to live life, to be a mother, you know, to her babies, and he took that from them.

You know, they need her.

And she loved them so much.

Anna's story is a particularly tragic one. She tried to build a life for herself and her kids and just struggled, really, to navigate this world. She kept falling on hard times, but I think that she would constantly show that she had the passion, the devotion to be a good mother. She fought right up until the very end, even in the face of senseless violence. She tried to fight for her life and the life of her children.

She was the best sister I had. And I still remember her with her good things. Not bad things, trouble things. I still remember the trouble things because now they're funny.

And I.

Love her.

Thank you.
