Family members of Jamie Hernandez-Zubia rally for justice - KMBC Kansas City
She had been missing for three years after running away from a foster care home. Last week, investigators found her body in the street at 25th and Ridge Avenue. I mean, she was only 13 when she went missing,” Ciara Hernandez, a sister-in-law, said. The Latino Advocacy Taskforce hosted the vigil as part of their mission to provide support to Latino families who have lost loved ones to homicide. Josie Garcia is a Latino Advocacy Taskforce volunteer who experienced her own tragedy. “It was about 7 years ago that my son was killed in this same area 13th and Ridge, and his homicide is still unsolved,” Garcia said. Things are now starting to feel real,” Ciara Hernandez said. “It’s beyond time that people step up and speak up, because if you're letting somebody be out there, you're welcoming them into your own home,” Garcia said. The truck is described as a white Ford F-150 flare side truck with tinted windows, chrome rims and a touchscreen device inside. TONIGHT, A FAMILY REMEMBERS A TEEN WHO LED A TROUBLED LIFE.
