We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Surrounded by a dozen family members, Nicolás Toledo, 78, was sitting on his walker to watch the Highland Park July 4 parade on Monday when the gunshots rang out.
The father of eight, who recently became a great-grandfather, was killed instantly—one of the six people murdered in the massacre carried out by a rooftop sniper.
The parade was a family tradition, said Josefina, who explained that after the marching was over, the clan would gather at the family home to continue celebrating the holiday.
“We all were very happily waiting for the parade when all of a sudden the gunfire started,” she said.
Among the dozens who were wounded by bullets from a high-powered rifle was the boyfriend of one of Josefina’s nieces.
Her father lived in a small town in the Morelos state of Mexico before moving to the U.S. with his son to find work in the mid-’80s, and later moved back to his home country to enjoy his golden years.
He came back to Illinois three months ago for an extended visit with his huge extended family in Highland Park.
