SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- As gender-based killings continue to grab headlines in Puerto Rico, victims' families on the island are concerned about the government's commitment to handling the ongoing crisis. Rosimar Rodríguez-Gómez was one of those victims. On the night of Sept. 17, 2020, she was attending her grandfather's 73rd birthday party. That night was the last time her family saw her alive. "It's when we lose someone that we remember the others," said Marangeli Gomez, Rodríguez-Gómez's aunt. "Then they forget about it and nothing else happens." During the birthday celebration, Rodríguez-Gómez reportedly received a text message from an ex-girlfriend asking to speak with her. After leaving the family gathering, Rodríguez-Gómez was forced into a car in front of her house, according to her family and a police report obtained by ABC News.
