Dolores Cardenas's pursuit of justice for her son Marcus led her to years of peril, marked by escalating violence and a lack of support from local authorities.
'In retrospect, I think maybe I should have left the detective work to the police. But I didn’t care at the time. I was angry,' Dolores reflects on the danger she faced while seeking answers.
The surge in gun violence in Delano highlights a systemic issue, with 53 shootings and 16 homicides since 2020, leaving families like Dolores's without resolution.
Dolores expressed frustration, stating, 'The police just don’t seem to care.' This sentiment underscores the disconnect between the community and law enforcement regarding gang-related violence.
