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 wonder if this carwash has a security camera, like the one in Florida that captured the young girl being abducted?
Not a hate crime though. Being charged with a Hate Crime is reserved for white people.
"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."
Best look between Houston and New Orleans.
LOL, if somebody tried to carjack me there wouldn't be any prosecution either.
Stories like this make me cry. That poor family; prayers going up for them.
They are sub-human. Hanging is too good for them. Get two trucks, tie two limbs to one truck and the other two limbs to the other truck. Put the trucks in first gear and let them idle forward.
Police didn't mention the race of the perps, but the family did...
Is this awesome or what?
And how about that shirt?
"The family described the suspects as two black males, in their mid-20s."
No mention of race? Au contraire.
My God, how sad. Prayers for this family.
I'd bet my next pay check on it.
Oh, my God. Prayers for that family. My son turns two today and I cannot even imagine their pain. My heart breaks for them. May God comfort them and welcome their little one with open arms.
"Must be black on white crime as the races are not mentioned..."
If you bother to go to the link you'll see that the suspects are described as black.
I have no doubt it's spun a bit...but one can't help but notice the statistical increase in crime, which is correlated to the time that Houston started accepting Katrina evacuees.
We, in Houston, can't ignore the fact that New Orleans had the highest crime rate in the country...and we can't ignore the fact that many of that cities hardened criminals were relocated here on the tax payers dime.
Sure there's spin but, nevertheless, there is a problem to go along with that spin. Mayor White is capitalizing on the obvious. I am not a fan of his but I am not blind to the problem. Yeah, there was crime before...but Houston has become a lot worse in the past year, and the crime rate proves that.
If this were my family, the hate crime would happen when I located the killers of my child...
The Katrina thing was, sadly, one of my first thoughts as well.
