"He was a hardworking man and really funny," Piedra's niece, Didi Lopez, told the El Paso Times. Piedra was hospitalized for several days before his family took him off life support after doctors told them he would not recover.
Police allege that before she called 911, Copas took a photo of Piedra after the shooting and texted it to her boyfriend. "The investigation does not support that a kidnapping took place or that Piedra was veering from Copas' destination," police said in a news release.
The area where the car crashed was "not in close proximity of a bridge, port of entry or other area with immediate access to travel into Mexico," according to the affidavit. Copas, who is from Tompkinsville, Kentucky, was in El Paso visiting her boyfriend, according to authorities. The shooting took place on June 16 as Piedra was driving Copas to a location in far southeast El Paso. Phoebe Copas remained jailed Sunday in El Paso, Texas, after being charged with murder last week in the death of 52-year-old Daniel Piedra Garcia.Ĭourt and jail records did not list an attorney who could speak for Copas, 48.
