Via Fox News:
A grieving New York mom whose daughter was brutally murdered by MS-13 gang members — and who was later honored by President Trump at a State of the Union address — was struck and killed by an SUV Friday at her daughter’s memorial site after getting into a confrontation with the driver.
Evelyn Rodriguez, 50, was preparing for a vigil when she was struck in Brentwood, N.Y., around 4 p.m. -– two years to the day the body of her 16-year-old daughter Kayla Cuevas was found in a wooded area of New York City’s Long Island suburbs, which have been known for MS-13 violence.
Rodriguez was struck following a heated argument with the relative of a person who lives near the memorial over its placement.
She and another person were standing in the street and yelling when the SUV sped toward them and struck her. The driver was not arrested, but Suffolk County police said their investigation was continuing.
My thoughts and prayers are with
Evelyn Rodriguez this evening, along with her family and friends. #RIPEvelyn https://t.co/wMwxRdjBHM
