Mother Murdered at Site of Daughter's Death
- A tragic incident occurred where a mother was killed in the same location her daughter was murdered two years prior.
- This shocking event highlights the ongoing issues of safety and violence in certain areas.
- The family is left devastated, facing loss for the second time at the same spot.
On the second anniversary of her daughter Kayla's brutal murder, Evelyn Rodriguez returned to the Long Island location where her daughter was killed, only to face a tragic incident herself. Rodriguez had been visiting the site to honor Kayla, whose death in 2016 became emblematic of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration and gang violence, particularly targeting the MS-13 gang. The situation escalated when Rodriguez confronted a woman named Drago, who had dismantled a memorial for Kayla. The confrontation turned deadly when Drago, a nurse from Patchogue, ran over Rodriguez with her vehicle after the altercation. This incident occurred shortly after Drago had removed the memorial and placed it in her car. The emotional turmoil surrounding Kayla's murder and the subsequent actions of Drago have drawn significant media attention, including a tweet from then-President Donald Trump expressing condolences to Rodriguez and her family. Drago faced legal repercussions for her actions, with a trial in February 2020 that included harrowing video evidence of the incident. In May 2023, she pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide, marking a significant moment in the ongoing saga of grief and loss for Rodriguez and other loved ones. The house in Brentford, now repainted, remains a haunting reminder of the tragic events that have unfolded, symbolizing the enduring pain of those affected by the violence.
