“The group of juveniles began crossing this intersection northbound. The teen victim was leading the group in the front when he was struck by a vehicle traveling [sic] westbound on W. Northern Ave,” Police Officer Moroni Mendez said about the nephew and his friends.
Officer Mendez also notified the press that Tracy Cortez’s nephew was hit bad enough to be “fighting for his life (this) morning”. Thankfully, he is still alive but the condition still seems to be critical. In the meantime, the suspect remains at large.

Perhaps the biggest reason Tracy Cortez got into the sport of MMA was because of her brother. At the age of 14, Cortez saw her brother, Jose, defeated a UFC veteran and was drawn in. She was already interested in amateur wrestling following his footsteps and MMA should have been no different.
Unfortunately, that fight against UFC veteran Drew Fickett would be Jose’s last as he would soon be diagnosed with germ cell cancer. Cortez became an MMA fighter to honor her brother. A tattoo of whom she carries proudly on her arm even today.
