Seven people were killed and up to six were injured Sunday after they were struck by a vehicle while waiting at a city bus stop outside of a migrant shelter...
The city bus stop is across the street from the shelter and is not marked. There was no bench, and people waiting there were sitting along the curb, Maldonado said. He said most of the victims were Venezuelan men.
He said the SUV flipped after running up on the curb and continued moving for about 200 feet . Some people who were walking on the sidewalk about 30 feet away from the main group were also hit, Maldonado said.The Ozanam shelter is the only overnight shelter in the city of Brownsville and manages the release of thousands of migrants from federal custody. Brownsville has long been an epicenter for migration across the U.S.
“I've had a couple of people come by the gate and tell the security guard that the reason this happened was because of us,” Maldonado said. “Some of them were on the way to the bus station, because they were on their way to their destination,” the director said.
