It brings it back like it was yesterday. I want to see whoever did it does not get away with it. Her son was shot down in southwest Fresno in front of a friend's house after he got out of his car for a visit. The shots were fired from a car that had followed him. I really feel for his three sons.
Someone takes away their father's life for no reason at all.
Stories of murder, such as Salvador's stabbing by an alleged gang member at his apartment complex in southeast Fresno and Hamilton's shooting, become big news. In a city the size of Fresno, where murders are more common than in smaller neighboring communities, people sometimes can become desensitized to terrible acts. In a case such as Salvador's, the family's grief can be illustrated by a photograph or a news account. Laura Hamilton wants people to remember her son, who had scheduled a visit to the adult school the day after his death to get the necessary classes for his diploma. The kids' mother would bring them over on his day off, and he'd play with them.
