Woman shot while driving a year ago still has bullet lodged in head

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Almost a year after tragedy struck a Houston family, a daughter continues to do what she can to figure out who shot her mother.

Last November, Grecia Hernandez was shot in the head while driving home on I-45 near 610.

Sadly, Grecia is now paralyzed on one side of her body, and police are still looking into the shooting.

She’s 34 and a mother of three. Grecia has been in a wheelchair for nearly a year, with a bullet still lodged in her head.

In the video above, Grecia’s daughter gives an inside look at her tough road to recovery, including having to undergo two skull surgeries.

Her 18-year-old daughter, Nataly Martinez, has essentially become her caretaker.

Martinez said her mom is still suffering. Grecia recently underwent a second skull surgery.

“I want them to know, like, what they did, their actions had a consequence,” said Nataly. “We’re a family. My mom was a single mother, she had just gotten out of a toxic relationship and it was all three of us: my 6-year-old brother, my 12-year-old brother and I. I had just turned 18, I was going to go to college and everything, and then [the shooter] just took that away from me.”

Anyone with information on this case is urged to contact the Houston Police Department.
