BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Two days after eight people were killed when an SUV slammed into a crowd waiting at a Brownsville bus stop, information on the victims remains scarce, leaving relatives of missing people scrambling to locate loved ones and pleading for information.but have not ruled out that he may have intentionally plowed into the stop outside the Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center, a shelter and hub for migrants who cross into the country from nearby Mexico.
A young boy waves the Venezuelan flag at a vigil for the people that were killed and for several others that were injured Sunday, while waiting at a bus stop in Brownsville, Texas, on May 8, 2023.One woman who has managed to locate a missing relative is Mileidy Gonzalez, 23, whose 45-year-old uncle, Juan Carlos Paredes was injured in the crash. She found out about it through news reports and a migrant who was staying at the shelter, and family members were able to identify Paredes in videos.
Another name on the police list belongs to Hector David Medina-Medero, a 24-year-old Venezuelan who cut hair at the Ozanam shelter. On Tuesday his mother was waiting outside the police department, expecting the worst.Police will use the list to notify families once the confirmation process is complete, but circumstances of the crash have caused delays, according to Sandoval. Complicating the matter is the fact that many of the victims did not have official identification on them.
“We spotted a gray SUV that was coming at full speed. It came toward us and veered toward us,” he said.He added that the man was furious and told those who detained him arrived to “‘Go back to your country.’”Another witness, Luis Herrera, 36, said the driver yelled a string of Spanish-language obscenities commonly used in Mexico as he raced toward the crowd.Herrera was tossed aside by the vehicle and hurt his wrist, but was medically evaluated and cleared without major injury.
