The family of the young Hispanic woman aged 15 who was shot 22 times while walking with her dog in a neighborhood southwest of Houston, Texas, on Tuesday night 11 in January will not rest until justice is done, as announced by a relative of the young girl.
In an interview with Univision, Diamond Álvarez’s aunt pointed out that so far the authorities have not ruled on the murder of the Hispanic woman.
“Something needs to be done, the case gets cold and then nothing is done. We need to know many things. We need them to contact us, to talk to us, to talk to their mother, to give her details, to tell her something…”, said Diamond’s aunt.
Likewise, she pointed out that the family is devastated by the death of her niece whom she described as a respectful girl, a good student, smiling and who liked to go out every night to walk her dog.
“(We have) many emotions, we want answers, we did not expect this, nobody expected it. Her mother is very ill, we are with her and there are also people who are by our side providing support”, she said very dismayed.
Until At the moment it is known that Diamond Álvarez’s case is under the Homicide Unit, however, the family is awaiting clear answers about who or who is behind the murder .
The mother is heartbroken
The young woman’s aunt also stated that Anna Machado, mother of Diamond Álvarez, is devastated by the murder of her daughter.
On the day of the events, Machado told the press that called her daughter after having heard several shots and minutes after seeing the dog enter the house, but his daughter did not answer the cell phone, so he went out to look for her.
“I tried (to give him) CPR. I couldn’t bring her back. I tried so hard to keep her alive”, recalled Anna Machado.
Meanwhile, the young woman’s stepfather, Tito Moczyygemba, has crossed out of “cowards” to those who shot Diamond Álvarez at close range: “Whoever shot this girl on 22 occasions in the back, they are cowards.”
Through a GoFundMe page, the young woman’s family has asked for help to pay for the young woman’s funeral and there they have also described her as a girl full of illusions, with a promising future that ended in a blink of an eye.
