“All she heard was gunshots, and she said my mom made a signal like she couldn’t breathe, and then she leaned on Amy’s shoulder, and that’s when they crashed, and that’s when Amy said she called the ambulance,” Michelle Rodriguez, the youngest of Moreno’s three children said.

“It hurts, it really does hurt, because we all had such a great bond with my mom, and it hurts that we lost her so early,” Rodriguez continued. “They took her from us. It’s not fair. She had so much potential. She was so outgoing. She was hard-working. She had everything,” she added.
