Mom of MS-13 victim mourned as ‘hero’
A Long Island mother who became a national voice against gang violence following her daughter’s murder at the hands of MS-13 thugs was remembered Friday at her own funeral as a “hero” and “warrior.”
Speaker after speaker stood in a Brentwood church to pay tribute to Evelyn Rodriguez, who was fatally mowed down by a driver Sept. 14 while visiting her daughter’s memorial site. The devoted mother was killed two years to the day after her 16-year-old child Kayla Cuevas was found slaughtered.
