"Rodriguez and another person were standing in the street and yelling at the driver of the SUV before the vehicle sped forward and struck her, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press."

From the New York Post:
Evelyn Rodriguez — who attended President Trump’s State of the Union to bring light to the brutal slaying of 16-year-old Kayla Cuevas — was struck by a vehicle in Brentwood at around 4 p.m., according to police.
Rodriguez was preparing to attend a candlelight vigil for her daughter when she was killed.
She was rushed to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, where she died.
That is horrifyingly bad. What a terrible horrible tragedy to befall this poor woman. At least she’ll be reunited with her daughter. Rest in Peace.
Here’s our previous post when Trump invited Evelyn to the State of the Union address.
Sorry to bring down your Friday! Have an open thread on me.
