FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) The murder of a Madera County woman shielding her children from gunfire could bring new laws to protect domestic violence victims.
Calley Garay, 32, was shot to death outside of a health clinic in Madera a place investigators say her estranged husband was able to track her whereabouts. Getting the courage to leave is huge but then to stay gone and continue the battle is a whole other thing, Calley s cousin Sarah Rodriguez said.
She says she wants people to remember Calley for that courage. We helped her escape in May. I can t even imagine what she went through. Just listening to her story was horrific.
