Houston Man Wielding Baseball Bat Tracks Down Alleged Murderer and Carjacker

A Houston man severely injured during a carjacking in May witnessed a similar incident on September 29, where a woman was dragged to death by a carjacker after her seatbelt had trapped her. He tracked down the suspect with a baseball bat and prevented him from fleeing until police arrived.

On May 26, Lewis Matos was ordering car parts at his desk at AAMCO Transmissions when a car burst through the wall, trapping him underneath his desk.

“Here I was, laying on the floor in horrific pain. I was pinned by this desk,” Matos said.

The carjackers, Juan Mendez and Jaritza Chavarria, exited the vehicle and attempted to shoot Matos. Five months later, Matos is still suffering from injuries related to the crash.

On September 29, Matos saw Marcus Wayne Brock, 55, forcibly remove Jessica Garza, 41, from her car.

“I jumped in my car, (I) didn’t even think. All I kept thinking was ‘he’s not getting away,” Matos said.

Garza was dragged for roughly four or five blocks as the suspect crashed into six different vehicles, killing Garza. Brock began to flee the scene once the car stopped.

“Unfortunately, she was deceased due to the fact she was unable to get herself out of the vehicle due to the seat belt,” said the Houston Police Department.

“I was mortified. When I saw what he did to her, I was enraged,” Matos said.

Matos continued to look for Brock while wielding a baseball bat and found him inside a close-by liquor store. Matos stood with his bat in hand and blocked Brock from exiting until police arrived.

“It gets kind of tedious watching everybody always getting away,” Matos said.

Good on him! It’s Texas(is Houston still part of Texas?;-)) so the perp will likely get charged to the max.

Jessica Garza, right, murdered by carjacker.

Garza’s daughter shared a touching tribute about her mother on the family’s GoFundMe page for Garza’s funeral:

Life without my mother is definitely going to be a challenge. She made me out to be such a strong woman and I know the Lord will continue to give me the strength to get through this tragedy. I have to be there for my two younger brothers and my loving father. She made such an impact on everyone. She touch the hearts of everyone she met. She had such a huge heart and was always willing to be a helping hand to others. She volunteered her time at our community church, St.Andrew Catholic church, she had many friends, and overall was loved by everyone. Jessica dedicated her life to her children, husband, family, work, and to the lord.

Too bad he didn’t beat him to a bloody pulp.

Now this POS will consume huge amounts of tax payer money as he probably already has for most of his useless life.

Feral animals, rabid. Need to be destroyed.

It does, indeed. Thanks.

“Good on him! It’s Texas(is Houston still part of Texas?;-)) so the perp will likely get charged to the max.”

With Soros owned and operated Harris County DA Kim Ogg, it’s far more likely that the perp will walk free on a PR bond and that Mr. Matos will face the severest possible prosecution.

Stolen Elections come at a high price and bring dire consequences.

No visible bat injuries? Mr. Matos has far, far more control than I would have had in that situation.

From local news site:
Court records show he has a long rap sheet dating back to 1985 with charges ranging from drug possession to burglary.


Think of the lack of contributions to society and the cost to this country of his life of being a professional violent criminal.

The man showed greater restraint than I would have. In the same situation I would have probably used the bat to beat the hell out of the perpetrator with the intent to either kill him or maim him to the point he would be a vegetable. The perpetrator, while arrested, might face far lesser charges than murder and be back out on the streets in only a few years.

The reporter needs to be fired.
I am saddened by the victims horrific treatment and death. I would believe that ,by now, the idea that people are inherently good is dead.

The article should read:
Bigfootbob approaches the criminal and begins beating him severely about the head and shoulders. Look at that swing! It appears bigfoot is getting a little winded. Bigfoot tags keyhopper in, yeah! New batter is up. Keyhopper swings like he’s aiming for the cheap seats! Wow, look at him go! As the crowd cheers him on he doesn’t appear to be tiring, however, look at the line begining to form. It would appear the the criminal has picked a bad day to break the law.

He deserves the key to the city.

If only it weren’t Houston, ugh.

This just in:
As bigfoot and keyhopper stand back as the crowd has poured some type of liquid on the criminal. Perhaps it’s a desifectant or maybe some Neosporin. Nope, it’s gasoline and someone has set the criminal on fire! Look at all those great citizen desperately trying to put out the flames using their baseball bats.
Is this a great country or what!
Keyhopper out😁
