Maria Flores planned a brave escape from domestic violence, but tragedy struck, devastating her family forever. 

Screaming and the sound of gunshots broke the silence early in the morning of June 1st, 2013, on Cotton St in East Las Vegas, shocking Manuel Mata's daughter awake. 

Who was that screaming? Did she just hear 3 gunshots, or was it 4? Terrified, she locked her bedroom door and hid in the closet, and called the first person she thought of, her grandfather

She told him she’d heard gunfire in the house and didn't know what to do.
In a panic over his family’s safety, he went to the house that his son Manuel shared with his girlfriend Maria Flores. What he found would change their lives forever.
