“We were in an accident,” Venice Gonzalez, 15, managed to say between breaths. Moments later, Padilla, 18, heard her sister yelling “Mommy, Mommy, please! Please stay alive! Please!”
Gonzalez made the call from the Saturn her mother, Marisol Mercado, 35, had been driving. Moments earlier, another vehicle that was being chased by Chicago Police smashed into the driver’s side of Mercado’s car at Pulaski and Chicago.
“She said my mom was just sitting there not moving, then shaking as if she was going through a seizure,” Padilla said....
Police believe the man who was driving the car that was fleeing police may have been involved in an earlier shooting in the 100 block of South Springfield in which a 30-year-old person had been wounded in the leg, said Chicago Police spokesman Joshua Perkiss.
The man was arrested at the scene of the crash. No charges had been filed in the case on Sunday.
“The car came out of nowhere and smashed into us,” said Venice Gonzalez, who had cuts around her right eye.
Marisol Mercado’s five children, ranging in age from 10 to 18, were gathered at their family home on the 5700 block of West Grand as relatives and friends visited to pay condolences Sunday afternoon.
“She was like mother and father to her kids, she did everything for them, they were her life, and now she’s not here, and her kids are basically like orphans,” David Mercado said. http://www.suntimes.com/21321907-761/innocent-killed-after-driver-fleeing-police-slams-into-two-cars-cta-bus.html
Marisol was completely innocent, in no fight, didn't hurt anyone and was killed by a thug running from the cops.
Where are the people who will march for her rights?
Or maybe those marching for Martin don't like Hispanics?
Or perhaps those marching for Martin are just plain stupid and morons?
Or both?
My pick is both.
