CHICAGO — Hours after a Mexican grandfather was killed and several other family members injured in the deadly shooting at Highland Park’s Fourth of July parade, several of his relatives described to the media the scene of horror they lived on a day that was supposed to be a celebration.
But their pain and grief no longer allows them to speak about the tragedy, said one of his daughters-in-law.
Nicolas Toledo, 76, arrived a few months ago from his native Morelos, Mexico, to spend time with his family after retiring several years ago. The father of eight and grandfather to many, was one of the seven people killed in a mass shooting that has left not only the Toledo family but an entire community traumatized.
