In the days and weeks following the fatal Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, mother Ana Rodriguez has been fighting for answers through her daughter's shoes.

"These are the same green Converse on her feet that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her after the shooting," he stated. Maite found the sneakers while the two were out shopping, something her mom said was turning into a new activity they would bond through. "It started in kindergarten. She couldn't even say marine biologist yet… I thought with time she's going to change her mind; she's going to want to be a nurse or something when she gets older. Well, she never changed her mind," Rodriguez said."I wanted to keep encouraging her, you know, maybe if she saw the college or the university, the ocean – it would just keep driving her even harder.

When asked why she chose to speak with CBS 11, Rodriguez said she wanted to"finally" push for stricter gun laws and to find answers.
