CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Dozens of family members of victims of homicide showed up to honor their loved ones at the Nueces County Courthouse as part of the 25th annual Tree of Angels Ceremony.
The Tree of Angels Ceremony was hosted by the Nueces County DA's Office. Family members helped decorate three Christmas trees with ornaments -- each one representing a life lost to a homicide.
"I spoke with one lady who's been here 19 years, and her daughter, she comes here so she can remember her daughter," said Nueces County District Attorney Mark Gonzalez.
