Evelyn Rodriquez struck by car and killed at candlelight vigil for daughter
2018-09-15
[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.

#3  Hmmm, My question is just a bad cousin, or MS-13 member objecting/warning her. Either way, with video and witnesses the person responsible should be known in a couple days.

#2  Accident?
The mom was preparing for the vigil when she and a woman driving a white 2016 Nissan Rogue got into a heated altercation over a memorial for the two girls that had been dismantled in front of a house on the block, cops said.

The woman was a relative of someone who lived at the home, according to police.

In video footage posted on Long Island News 12’s Web site, Rodriguez and a man can be seen confronting the driver.

That’s when the SUV driver accelerated and fatally struck Rodriguez, cops said. The network did not air that part of the footage.

Doesn't look like an accident.
