I turned on the light and saw my daughter with the shot in the head and blood, “he said.
“I’m trying to find some help so I can leave here, because Villa Española is very bad and it is a tremendous insecurity. At night you cannot live. My children come every night down this same street and more than once they have been robbed,” he added.
