I have always taken a deep interest in photographing street memorials, but it wasn’t until I came across the street memorial for Bree’anna Guzman that I became involved.
At the scene I read heartfelt letters written by loved ones, and I had learned of an upcoming vigil. I returned that evening to document the experience of attending the vigil and meeting Bree’anna’s mother Darlene Guzman-Duran.
Darlene spoke to local news media and the vigil was televised later that evening. The Los Angeles Police Department still don’t have any leads, and Bree’anna’s killer is still at large.
Bree’anna is survived by her two young daughters.
