Pablo Tiquiram Us,29, and Jose Chilambalam Tiquiram Us, 20, were paying respects to their deceased brother, Baltazar,27, at the site where he was killed when a LYNX Blue Line train instantly struck them.
“They had been memorializing their brother on the one-week anniversary of his death and they were conducting a memorial out by the site where he was killed,” said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Sgt. Adam Jones.
Unfortunately, the two brothers were also struck by a train while they were on foot and they both succumbed to their injuries pretty quickly. I cannot imagine losing three of your children — three of your siblings — within a week to such tragic circumstances.”
