UNSOLVED MURDER: Saturday, Leon Laureles' event started early 6:30 AM in the morning. By noon, the group gathered and headed to one of the first billboard signs near the site where Leon's body was discovered off of FM 2126. As they walked toward the marked cross, carrying painted rocks and messages of hope and remembrance. The family of Laureles stood in silence. We realized how much work still needs to be done to address the root causes of violence in Brown County. https://www.canva.com/design/DAFT1WsSb5o/view
