The seven Mormon siblings who miraculously survived when cartel members attacked three cars, killing their mom and two brothers in northern Mexico, were photographed together for the first time this week.
A picture shared on the Langford’s family GoFundMe account following the November 4 tragedy on a highway in Bavispe, Sonora, showed eight-year-old Cody Langford sitting on a wheelchair surrounded by his brothers and sisters at their home in Arizona.
The injured boy was traveling in a SUV with his mother and eight siblings when members of La Línea cartel intercepted their vehicle and two other cars carrying seven other people.
Cody Langford’s mother, Dawna Ray Langford, along with his brothers Trevor Langford and Rogan Langford, were among the nine victims killed that morning.
