Police are searching for two men who carajcked a family's SUV overnight and then ran over the family's toddler as they took off, according to television news reports this morning. The theft happened on Jensen near Sadler in northeast Houston as the father pulled into a car wash parking lot to use a payphone. He was then approached by two men, who demanded money and then the family's SUV. The suspects allegedly told everyone to get out of the car, including three young children.
Police told television reporters that the child was run over in the confusion. The toddler was reportedly about to celebrate her second birthday in just a few days. She was taken to the hospital where she died. Police are looking for suspects in the stolen white Chevy Suburban with license plate number 13BNW2. The family described the suspects as two black males, in their mid-20s.
I agree!
How awful for the family of the child!
These two scumbags will be caught soon - and then have a trial that'll last for months and months and months.
Katrina evacuees?........
Must be black on white crime as the races are not mentioned...
Unfortunately, that was my first thought, too.
I'd bet this will be tied to the Houston areas continued fall out from Hurrican Katrina...
Words fail ....
Prayers for the family and the child
Probably illegal aliens who overstayed their visitor visas from some African country...
(Isn't ever thread an illegal immigration thread?)

Governer? I want the mayor and DA to wake up.
I personally know a half dozen people who've been carjacked in Houston in the past 2 years (2 kidnapped) and there was no prosecution of the crooks.
Mayor White is blaming Katrina evacuees (so he can get federal money for his police force) but the crimes predate Katrina.
There has been a rise in violent crime here while the mayor has been looting the city budget for connected downtown buddies. Mayor Bob Lanier lives.
Yep.
As the father of a toddler, I agree. Anyone harming my child, much less killing her, would never make it to trial.
"the child was run over in the confusion"
Why are the police making the defense for these scumbags? I don't think they were confused.
A lot of that is false spin in an effort to get more funding for police so the city budget can be spent on more gold bricks for stadiums, sidewalks, fountains, and public funded theaters.
Oh, but capital punishment is not a deterrent according to our illustrious liberals and ACLU types.......How are we going to know if we don't try? It's because the libs and the psychoanalyst sociologist types have taken over.
My first thought exactly.
Good chance you are right. My Son-in-law and Daughter who lives there said the crime rate and murder rate has increased tremendously. The people that came from NO were some BAD people.
Prayers for the child and his family. And for justice.
