Child Dies One Day Before 2nd Birthday
HOUSTON -- A baby died after two men who carjacked her parents drove over her, Houston TV station KPRC reported Wednesday.
Officials said the family stopped at a car wash at about 10:50 p.m. Tuesday to use a telephone. Police said two armed men tried to rob the father and mother.
"While the father was out using the pay phone, two black males approached him and demanded money from the father and the mother," Sgt. C.W. Howard said. "They were unable to produce any money, so the suspects then decided to take their vehicle."
The men pulled the four children, between the ages of 2 and 6, out of the vehicle quickly.
"They brutally pulled these kids and threw them out onto the pavement of the car wash," Sgt. David Crain said.
Investigators said Stephanie Garcia was in front of the vehicle when the men took off.
Officials said the men ran over the girl and kept going.
Stephanie died at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital.
Family members said Stephanie was one day shy of her second birthday when she died. Relatives said family members had already sent out invitations to her party.
Police said they found the family's 1993 Chevrolet Suburban abandoned about five miles from where the child was killed. They are searching the vehicle for evidence.
Investigators released composite sketches Wednesday afternoon of the two men.
The first man is described as a black male with short, curly black hair, 25 to 28 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 160 to 170 pounds with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a dark blue baseball cap, white T-shirt and blue pants.
Police described the second man as a black male with short black hair, 24 to 25 years old, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 140 to 150 pounds with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing a red baseball cap, short-sleeved white Polo shirt pulled over another shirt, baggy black pants and white tennis shoes.
Both remain on the loose.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Houston police at (713) 308-3600.
Sketches of the perps in the Houston area, anyone who would kill a 2 year old girl for a cheap used car needs to be brought down fast and hard.
OMG!! Animals.
A Winnie Mandella necklace for both.
Monsters.
I'm thinking that when the cops catch up with these two they may be killed while assaulting a police officer. I would be more than happy to assist.
This is one of the worst things I've ever heard. Those poor parents.
at times like these I wish for the old times. lynch these bastards and ... oh boy I better hold myself.
I wonder if their last known address was in New Orleans?
Texas has the death penalty. These "Devils" need to fry.
I only hope they resist arrest.
Yeah, I thick we are on the same page, I didn't want to get banned either...
Please, please let a motivated citizen find these wastoids before the police do!
That's right, let's see if we can get some Houston Freepers in here.
We all need to pray for this family. May God give them some comfort in their time of sorrow and anger.
My hopes are that even if they don't, they do on the report..
Bastards. May they burn in hell for this!
No no! Them be the hip-hop coo posse, yo yo bullet. Let's sing a song about how glorious the 'street' style be. They be gangsta!
All I can say is, "CHAINS and a tow hitch" are justified in this case.
(So ban me for a while, I spend too much time on this site anyway)
What a couple of F'ing pathetic wastes of human skin...

vigilante justice is completely justified in my book on this one
