HOUSTON (AP) — Family members of a murdered 16-year-old girl tried to attack her ex-boyfriend during a court hearing Tuesday after he had pleaded guilty to shooting her nearly two dozen times while she was walking her dog.
During a court hearing Tuesday, Alvarez’s mother, Anna Machado, took the witness stand to give a victim impact statement.
Video of the court hearing shows Machado finishing her statement and walking toward DeLeon, who was sitting at a table with his attorney.
The uncle is quickly restrained, but DeLeon’s mother then comes and starts shoving Alvarez’s mother.
DeLeon’s trial had been set to begin this week, but he decided to accept the plea agreement, prosecutors said.
