"We don't want another Lizbeth. We don't want another Laken Riley." "I'm still lost. I still feel like I don't know what to do with my life." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business. Email tips to audrey.conklin@fox.com or on Twitter at @audpants.
Medina's "beautiful, loving, bubbly, funny" 16-year-old daughter, Lizbeth Medina, was murdered on Dec. 5, 2023. Rafael Govea Romero, the 24-year-old man charged with capital murder in connection with the attack, is scheduled to face trial next month.
"With [Trump] winning, I'm really hoping that there are stricter laws so we can protect our kids, our children, our families, our loved ones from this happening to them again," Medina said.
