According to the British "Daily Star" reported on February 19, on Valentine's Day, a little girl in the United States was preparing to attend a family dinner, but there was a tragedy of shooting, and a cute 9-year-old girl was shot in the back seat of her parents' car. He was shot in the head and died after being sent to the hospital.
Nine-year-old Arlene Alvarez sat in the back seat of her parents' car and wore headphones to a Houston restaurant to watch a movie and eat Valentine's Day dinner.
As they passed a street in the southeast of the city, they suddenly chased a man from the side of the road, shot at them as they ran, and fired multiple shots at their pickup trucks.
When the first gunshot rang out, her father reacted immediately, shouting "Get down."
The girl's father, Armando Alvarez, shouted for the little girl to hurry up and avoid, but she was watching a movie with headphones on, did not hear her father's shouts and warnings, and was unfortunately caught in the crossfire.
Her mother, remorseful and tearfully reminiscing about the moment her daughter was shot, said: "I screamed not loud enough, I didn't know she had headphones. ”
Arlene was then rushed to a nearby hospital and seriously injured.
Police arrested the 41-year-old suspect, Tony Earles, on the spot and charged him with "aggravated assault" and "serious bodily harm in a shooting."
The family's lawyer, Rick Ramos, said: "Earls had no valid reason for self-defence because the robbery suspect was no longer around, so there was no 'direct threat or fear'.
After the police investigation, it was found that Ers was actually the victim of the robbery that night, and that he shot at the Alvarez family by mistake.
Her departure made her relatives feel miserable!
"Life can change in the blink of an eye, so crazy... We thought we were ready, but we didn't. ”
I worked late today, and I should have taken time off to spend the day with you.
Her mother, Gwen Alvarez, told a press conference with tears in her eyes before her daughter was shot.
