Surrounded by her late daughters' pictures, Yanely Henriquez finds comfort.
"Still to this day, I feel the absence of my daughter like it was yesterday," said Yanely Henriquez, the mother of Angellyh Yambo.
Henriquez was at work when she got the news that the Supreme Court voted to uphold the Biden administration regulation on ghost guns - a weapon that took her 16-year-old daughter's life nearly three years ago.
"For me, this was one of the best decisions because it is justice for my daughter," said Henriquez.
Angellyh Yambo was on her way home from school when she was caught in a crossfire and shot in the chest, just a block away from University Prep Charter High School, where she was a straight A student.
Investigators determined the shooter used a ghost gun, a homemade weapon with no serial number making it nearly impossible to trace. The gun kits can be assembled at home with different pieces from a kit. The ruling requires manufactures that sell these kits to include serial numbers and perform background checks on people who buy them.
Angellyh's father, Manuel Yambo said he had never heard of a ghost gun before his daughter's death.
"I didn't know about these ghost guns before, and the fact that you could just order it and have a firearm just like that to do harm to someone is crazy," said Manuel Yambo.
Ghost guns have been tied to violent crime scenes across New York City. Forty guns have been taken off the streets so far in 2025, according to city data. This regulation will make it easier for officers to track down who is behind the trigger.
"It's going to be traceable, there's going to be backgrounds, just like everything there should be with a regular firearm, it's the greatest news I heard in a long time," said Henriquez.
The Yambo-Henriquez family is in the process of suing Polymer80, a manufacturer that sells ghost gun kits.
"We are trying to do our best, to make sure her name lives on, when they hear Angellyh, they know who she was and what type of person she was," said Yambo.
Here is how to support the Angellyh Yambo Foundation.
