YOUNGSTOWN — Nivea Ramos and her daughter, Crystal Hernandez, put a face on the violence that has taken so many lives in Youngstown.
The face of Hernandez is of a young woman who enjoyed using makeup and posting glamorous images of herself on social media — a young mother, 23, who moved to Youngstown as a teenager after growing up elsewhere.
The face of Ramos is that of a woman whose reason for coming from out-of-state to Youngstown last year was that Hernandez, her daughter — “my sunshine” — was murdered here, and one of the murderers was on trial.
