HAYWARD, Calif. - A Bay Area mother expressed pain, frustration, and anger as she fights for answers and justice two years after her son was shot and killed in Hayward.

Brenda Angulo is appealing to the police, the district attorney and the community for help.

She wants those responsible for killing her son to be held accountable.

"This is a portrait of Erick," Angulo said on Monday evening, as she pointed to a painting that was done of her son, Erick Portillo, after he was killed.

"I feel desperation," she said. "I feel like I'm at a dead end, at a dead end, at a dead end. I feel really afraid of the case going cold."

Police have previously released an image of two suspects wearing distinctive clothing in the death of the 15-year-old on Aug. 1, 2023.
