Estimated read time: minutes. Family is everything to her," Chacon said. Brandon Alfred Barela, 20, was also shot and sustained injuries not considered to be life-threatening. He also lived in the home. Santa Clara-Ivins police said a family member was arrested for investigation of murder and aggravated assault. Police only confirmed that the suspect was a "minor" but declined to release the age, sex or any other information about the suspect.
Heather Ann Barela was more than a mother to her own two biological children β she was also a foster and adoptive mother to five more. She just wanted to give every kid a second chance. No kid should be in the foster system their whole life. Her husband was adopted so they both understand the importance of it. She loved board games, had a deep care for animals, and, most of all, had the ability to uplift those around her.
She makes me want to be a better person myself. He also remembers her as someone who would stop whatever she was doing to make sure others were taken care of. The family is still waiting for answers on what happened and why, but they already know none of it will ever make sense. A candlelight vigil for Barela is planned for Monday at Barela's mother's house in Roy.
The address is Trail Side Drive, and it will be at 7 p. A GoFundMe has been set up to help her husband with funeral costs and to support their children. If you are considering a deposit to the account, you should consult your own advisers and otherwise proceed at your own risk.
