NEW YORK (AP) — A grieving New York mother recognized by President Donald Trump at the State of the Union in his campaign against deadly MS-13 gang violence was struck by an SUV and killed at a memorial to her slain daughter Friday after a heated confrontation with the driver.
Evelyn Rodriguez was hit around 4 p.m. in Brentwood, police said, on the street where her 16-year-old daughter Kayla Cuevas' body was found beaten and slashed two years ago to the day.
Cuevas' friend, 15-year-old Nisa Mickens was also killed.
The community is the epicenter of the fight against MS-13 violence on Long Island.
Rodriguez and another person were standing in the street and yelling at the driver of the SUV before the vehicle sped forward and struck her, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
So far, there is no evidence of ties to MS-13 or any indication that the crash was retribution by the gang, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
The driver remained at the scene and was not immediately arrested, according to the official, who added that detectives are still investigating what prompted the confrontation.
