The 12-year-old’s killing sparked protests and outrage but it wasn’t until last year that a statue honoring Santos Rodriguez’s life was unveiled.
Santos Rodriguez was a 12-year-old boy in the summer of 1973 when in the early morning hours of July 24, he was taken from his home by two Dallas Police officers and placed in handcuffs. His brother David, then 13, was there too and both were placed inside a patrol car.
The officer, Darrell Cain, was convicted of his death but was given the lowest possible sentence of 5 years and was released after serving less than three years in prison. Cain, who died in 2019, never apologized to Rodriguez’s family.
