A mother, model, and advocate for victims of violent crimes is now herself the victim of a violent crime.
As CBS 2’s Shardaa Gray reported Friday, mother of two Fantacia Lopez, 30, is now even more determined to bring peace to the community after being caught in the middle of gang crossfire.Lopez’s mouth will be wired shut for two weeks. As a model and a singer, she said this will be a major setback – but she is grateful the bullets didn’t hit her son.“I really, really, honestly thought it was over,” Lopez said.Lopez was shot in the jaw last Saturday in the Lawndale community.
Lopez had planned to drop off her 7-year-old son at her sister’s house, near 15th Street and Western Avenue. Then, she was going to go out and celebrate her friend’s birthday. “My son got scared, so I grabbed his head and shoved him to the bottom of the car,” she said, “and I said: ‘Drive and drive fast. I got hit by something – I don’t know what it is.’”“All this blood starting flowing everywhere,” she said, “all over my child, all over the car.”
“You know, make sure he’s protected, and just keep that energy alive,” Malik said. “You know it’s like, God heard my prayers, I guess, you know? And kept him safe.”
