It’s a Friday morning, and Elizabeth Barraza picks up Starbucks coffee to sip with her husband before he heads off to work and she sets up for a garage sale.
As Elizabeth sets up in the driveway, a black truck pulls up. The driver gets out and approaches Elizabeth. She says good morning and they interact for a moment before the driver pulls a handgun and shoots Elizabeth three times. While she is on the ground, the driver shoots her again, then runs back to the truck and drives off.
Eliza Barra is life-flighted to a hospital where Doctors determine she will not survive her injuries. Sergio Barraza and the Nuelles make the impossible decision to let Elizabeth go and donate her organs.
