Wake for twins killed in hot car comes amidst call for action
YONKERS — Tearful mourners crowded into a Yonkers funeral home to remember one-year-old twins Luna and Phoenix.
The pair was left in a hot car one week ago in the Bronx in what appears, so far, to be a horrible accident by their father Juan Rodriguez.
He told authorities he thought he dropped them at daycare before work. Prosecutors have so far not brought charges.
The 39-year-old is a social worker who served in the National Guard.
Several soldiers attended the wake to show their support.
The day of remembrance for the twins comes as…..
