A Fearless Mission Miriam wanted to find the killers who robbed her daughter of her life, and nothing was going to stop her.

At first, she begged the cartels to return her daughter safely. However, the Zeta cartel said they didn’t know Miriam or her daughter. They did promise to find Karen, though – for a fee.

Miriam cornered one of the men in an alley. Putting a gun to his back, she gave him a serious warning that if he moved, she would shoot.

Unfortunately, Miriam couldn’t carry on her mission alone for too long. On Mother’s Day in 2017, she was assassinated.

She was shot 12 times in front of her home, and her mission was not completed.

Suspects were arrested, but some of them escaped prison.
