Annett Barajas had withdrawn money from a Fifth Third Bank on Saturday afternoon about an hour before an 8-year-old girl was gunned down near the entrance of the Little Village branch.
“Honestly, there’s no words because I don’t know what I would have done if this was my daughter,” Barajas, a mother of two, said Sunday afternoon at a rally demanding justice for Melissa Ortega, who was fatally shot a day before. “I would go crazy because I protect my kids with my own [life].”
