[NYP] The grieving mother of a young girl killed by MS-13 gang members on Long Island was fatally struck by a car on Friday while preparing for a candlelight vigil at her daughter’s memorial, cops said.
Evelyn Rodriguez ‐ who attended President Trump’s State of the Union Address to shed light on the brutal slaying of 16-year-old Kayla Cuevas ‐ was struck by a vehicle in Brentwood at around 4 p.m. ‐ two years to the day her daughter’s body was found in a wooded area off the same block, according to police.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Evelyn Rodriguez this evening, along with her family and friends. #RIPEvelyn," Trump tweeted Friday.
Rodriguez, 50, was on Ray Court ‐ near where the remains of Kayla and her best friend Nisa Mickens, 15, were found. The two had been beaten with baseball bats and hacked with a machete by MS-13 gang members. |
