Mother watched as daughter gunned down in Gilroy: 'She took my hand and looked up at the sky'
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The 12-year-old girl sat on the bottom bunk bed where her older sister, Keyla Salazar, used to sleep.
Lyann Salazar held a pencil in one hand and, in the other, an iPhone displaying a picture of Keyla. She drew a portrait of Keyla on a blank page of her notebook.
Lyann and Keyla used to share the small bedroom in their San Jose home, but now Lyann sleeps there alone, with just Keyla's Chihuahua, Lucky, to comfort her.
"She's drawing and writing to her sister to give her a last goodbye," the sisters' grandmother, Betzabe Vargas Fabes, said in Spanish.
Keyla was one of three people shot to death last week at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and in a few days her family would gather for her funeral.
Lyann looked up from the bed, but remained silent as she sketched outlines of her sister's face.
The room was simple, just how Keyla liked it.
