SAN ANTONIO \u2013 One year has passed since Joanna Holt last hugged her son. She said her family\u2019s loss has not gotten any easier.<\/p>\n

\u201cI miss him so much,\u201d Holt said, looking at the photograph of her son in her living room. \u201cI kiss (the photo) every day, every morning and every evening. I tell him, \u2018I\u2019m so sorry. I want to get justice.\u2019 I promised him that on the day he was buried.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayden Holt died at the end of February 2025. He was shot and killed<\/a> in Selma after an attempted robbery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt affected everything,\u201d Joanna Holt said. \u201cI\u2019m no longer me.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how Joanna Holt finds her strength, she replied, \u201cthrough God.\u201d <\/p>\n
