“It hurts me because that was my best friend, like my brother. I grew up with him my whole life. He got me into skating and he looked out for me,” said James Fowler, Marcelino Camarena’s friend.
“My daughters knew when they walked into that room that he was gone. An hour before that he looked in my eyes and said how hopeless he felt. He didn’t have anything left and he didn’t want to go on,” said Carmelita Trujillo, Camarena’s mother.
“He began to self-medicate his pain. It started with marijuana and progressed to Xanax and then went to his death with fentanyl,” said Trujillo.
