On July 9, the family of Kayden Schwartz, a Harlingen teen killed in a hit-and-run last February, commemorated what would have been his 17th birthday at the memorial they created. His mother, Rebecca Schwartz, expressed her grief and frustration over the memorial being vandalized five times, with decorations destroyed and inappropriate items left behind. The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating these incidents. Meanwhile, the criminal case against Rodolfo Ruiz Jr., the driver accused of the hit-and-run, is progressing, with a jury trial set for August 24. Rebecca hopes for justice for her son soon.
