GATEWAY, Fla. — A small memorial marks the spot where a young boy can spend time with his mom, talk to her, and tell her about his day. It's where Destiney Bocanegra's family comes to remember her life that was cut short. Destiney was killed in 2018 when her son was only 4-years-old. She died protecting her child from gunfire, and her case remains unsolved. "As parents we're not supposed to bury our children," said Lisa Vega-Alva, Destiney's mom.

I love you so much, Abby. You showed me endless love, loyalty and how to smile during the darkest days. While I’m so broken, I know you’re with your brother, Rocky. Please watch over me and know a day will not go by that I won’t think about you. I’ll see you both again one day ❤️ https://t.co/uNIA1Q66PM
