The 31-year-old Ph.D. student was found fatally shot 7 times.
STEFANIE DAZIO and FABIOLA SÁNCHEZA Bay Area Aztec dance troupe is remembering Gabriel Trujillo, UC Berkeley student shot and killed in Mexico last week while doing plant research.For four years, Gabriel Trujillo trekked the breadth of the United States and south into Mexico in search of a flowering shrub called the common buttonbush.
Cruz-de Hoyos became concerned when Trujillo didn't respond to her phone calls and text messages - they normally talked several times a day - and his Airbnb hosts said his belongings were still there but he hadn't returned. She bought a plane ticket the next day and flew down to Mexico to search. His family begged him not to go to such a dangerous place: Sonora recorded 518 homicides through May, according to federal government data. But Trujillo believed the trip was crucial to his research.
He spent years studying it and collecting specimens, often alongside Cruz-de Hoyos - a postdoctoral fellow researching widespread tree mortality - in a big red van they bought together. Cruz-de Hoyos had been undergoing fertility treatments for the last two years and this summer's trip to Mexico was supposed to be Trujillo's last before the couple began trying to get pregnant.
