Slain Girl’s Family Marks Anniversary Of Road Rage Shooting

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The family of a 4-year-old girl shot and killed on a New Mexico highway during a road-rage dispute plans to mark the one-year anniversary of her death with a balloon release in downtown Albuquerque. Veronica Garcia says the family will gather on Civic Plaza at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, a year to the day since her daughter Lilly Garcia was fatally shot on Interstate-40 in Albuquerque during a road-rage dispute between the girl's father and another driver. Lilly was sitting in the backseat of her father's pickup with her older brother when she was struck. Tony Derrick Torrez is charged in her death. He told authorities he fired warning shots at the truck driven by the girl's father, and didn't know any children were inside. His trial is set for Dec. 1.
