Organizers will also create a community altar at the site of a mural honoring the two men.<\/p>\n<p>For Berenice Prieto, Guzman-Fuentes&#8217; widow, the mural has become a place to remember her husband.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with WFAA on Thursday, she said she visits the corner of Jefferson Boulevard two or three times a week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s to remember them,&#8221; Prieto said in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Guzman was among three men in ICE custody who were shot during the attack outside the agency&#8217;s Dallas facility along North Stemmons Freeway.<\/p>\n<p>The gunman, identified by authorities as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn of Fairview, fired from a nearby rooftop toward the facility&#8217;s sally port, where detainees were being transported.<\/p>\n<p>Federal officials said Jahn had targeted ICE personnel. Authorities later said notes left by Jahn indicated he wanted to terrorize ICE agents. No ICE personnel were injured in the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Guzman, who was from El Salvador, died at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The two other men shot were Garcia-Hern\u00e1ndez, a Mexican national, and Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, a Venezuelan national. Garcia-Hernandez was critically injured and died days later after being taken off life support. Bordones-Molina survived.<\/p>\n<p>For Prieto, the anniversary has brought back the trauma of losing her husband.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today brings horrible memories. It&#8217;s like reliving it all again,&#8221; Prieto said.<\/p>\n<p>She said the last year has felt like a blur.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been difficult, very difficult,&#8221; Prieto said, describing how accustomed she was to having Guzman-Fuentes in her life.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nQuestions that remain                    <\/p>\n<p>Prieto says she continues to seek information about what happened to her husband in the moments after he was shot.<\/p>\n<p>She said her attorney has requested Guzman-Fuentes&#8217; autopsy report twice, but the family has not received it.<\/p>\n<p>She wants to know where he was shot, how long he survived and whether he could have been taken to a hospital and saved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every day, I still ask myself what happened,&#8221; Prieto said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was a human being, not an animal,&#8221; Prieto said. &#8220;Me and his family want to know what exactly happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WFAA reached out to ICE for information about any security changes or the latest investigative findings related to the shooting but has not heard back as of Thursday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The attack was investigated as a targeted act of violence. Federal authorities said Jahn acted alone and that his stated target was ICE personnel, although the people struck by the gunfire were detainees.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nA place to remember                    <\/p>\n<p>In Oak Cliff, the mural has become part of the community&#8217;s effort to keep the men&#8217;s memories alive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is to remember them, celebrate their lives and carry the message that this cannot happen again,&#8221; Prieto said.<\/p>\n<p>For Prieto, remembering Guzman-Fuentes has become part of learning how to live without him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My life stopped when he died,&#8221; Prieto said.<\/p>\n<p>Prieto told WFAA she battled depression in the months after her late husband&#8217;s death, and she has received psychological help over the last year.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, she says she is still searching for answers that could help close what she describes as an open wound.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to know what happened,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The uncertainty of not knowing how it happened, why.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Saturday gathering in Oak Cliff will honor Norlan Guzman and Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez with a community altar&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-447216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
