Shooting of mother roils city: “Grisel Sanchez was relaxed and laughing, drinking white wine with girlfriends in her cousin’s apartment Tuesday night. The 31-year-old mother of three was in a good place: she was thinking of going back to church, looking for a new job, and planning a family trip to Water Country. … And then: four booming shots.
