Ricardo Del Moro
Age 18
El Paso, Texas
He wanted to protect our borders
He dreamed of being a border patrol agent. Growing up in El Paso, Texas, he was surrounded by military bases like Fort Bliss and was aware of the high security stakes at the border.
He was in the process of turning his life around, working toward that goal. He wanted to be a role model for his baby son.
Ricardo Del Moro, 18, would not have the opportunity to fulfill that dream. On Sept. 14, 2018, Del Moro, along with his brother and girlfriend, was shot and killed outside an apartment building.
