In the hours after robbers fatally shot Susana García’s teenage son outside her apartment door in Bachman Lake, the distraught mother grappled with her devastation and with the language barrier with police. Her 16-year-old twin daughters translated her Spanish that night three years ago.
Though Dallas police arrested the robbers, García said her neighbors urged her to move. They told her the killers could come back to hurt her family, but García wasn’t scared. They had already thrust a dagger through her heart when they killed 18-year-old Oziel.
