Delacruz and Guzman-Vasquez dated as teenagers in the Mexican state of Jalisco, their relatives said. At age 18, he sneaked across the border with friends in an effort to find work. Guzman-Vasquez missed him and followed a couple of years later.

He eventually found work in construction, relatives said. She became a full-time homemaker.

They were quiet and religious and had no enemies, family members said. One of the walls of their living room was dominated by a roughly 4-foot-tall crucifix.

Cooney said the children appeared to be dressed up Friday night, perhaps for church or a special occasion. Oscar, in pants and a jacket, had just gotten his hair cut. His sister was dressed all in pink, with pink bows in her pigtails and gold earrings. Both children wore gold bracelets engraved with their names.

Cooney said Oscar had told her his mother picked him up early from preschool Friday. He told her, "I was scared because of the bad man."

Oscar mentioned the "bad man" more than once, Cooney said.

All thoughts about illegal immigration aside, I would wager that whoever shot the parents was someone from Jalisco, Mexico who had a beef with them.

May God protect the children, white black or brown.

I wonder if this is a case of not paying the coyote who got them across the border?

"All thoughts about illegal immigration aside, I would wager that whoever shot the parents was someone from Jalisco, Mexico who had a beef with them."

And, we have no extradition treaty with Mexico and because we have the death penalty Mexican courts will not let Mexican authorities help us arrest Mexican fugitives who commit capital crimes here. If the killer was from Jalisco, he is probably already SAFELY back there now, having a beer.
