Hernandez Memorial Gallery
The area where the goats were being herded was Esequiel's backyard. It is desert land, but there is a lot of brush, small bushes, hills and trees. The area looks like this photograph. In fact on the day of the shooting it looked very much like this. Hiding in the bushes is a Marine. Can you find him? When the Marines fired on Esequiel they were 200 yards away. It is hard to believe that Junior recognized the Marine from that distance, in fact, he probably had no idea a group of Marines were following him. Photo courtesy of James H. Evans. |
