It seemed like the perfect romance between Cleveland high school seniors Johanna Orozco and Juan Ruiz Jr. “He was funny, he was a great listener, and he was there for me when I needed him to be” Orozco, now 20, said.

Then one day Orozco’s luck changed in a way she could never have imagined, when Ruiz — once the love of her life — fired a shotgun at her face, sending her through a medical marathon of reconstructive surgery and recovery.

Before their relationship took its dark turn, the attractive and popular couple was the envy of their classmates at Lincoln West High School.

“They were gorgeous…gorgeous and they looked good on each other’s arms. They were the ideal couple,” said drama teacher Catherine Zak. “Everyone wanted to be like Johanna and Juan. They were outgoing, personable and very much in love.”

Johanna Orozco, 20, reunites with Dr. Collins, who helped save her life.
