Wilson talked to the media and said, “He died because he wanted to defend his mother,”
The victims of the tragic shooting, including the mother and son, were identified by the police as Diana Velazquez Alvarado (21), Julisa Molina Rivera (31), and Jose Jonathan Casarez (18).

Tragic. We don’t know who the many millions of illegals are, and Biden is putting every US citizen in danger. With title 42 ending next week and the flood gates open the surge will continue bringing in millions more. Crime and chaos are coming to a neighborhood near you so get ready.

Little boy died protecting his mother, he died a hero. Nothing stronger than the love between a son and his mother, tied with the love between a daughter and her father. RIP young hero. Condolences to all families and friends
