A 37-year-old man was shot and killed after he confronted some people he thought were acting suspiciously on his street in Houston, reports The Independent. He leaves behind his wife, who is eight months pregnant, and two children.
The incident occurred on August 10 at around 12:30 AM. The man, named Osvaldo Casas, had noticed a black car in the neighborhood the night before and reported that one of their cars had been damaged. That night, a neighbor also called the police about the same black car driving slowly in the area.
When Casas approached the suspicious vehicle, shots were fired, and he was hit several times and fell to the ground. His wife, Judith Molina, who is also expecting a baby boy next month, ran to him and tried to give him CPR.
“I did it for maybe like 10 minutes until the police arrived, and they took over, but by that time I already knew he was gone. I knew he was gone,”
Molina told the outlet.
“She tried to give him CPR, and he died in her hands,”
Casas’s mother, Blanca Aguirre, told KHOU11.
A GoFundMe page created by Judith Molina stated that Osvaldo Casas has passed away,
“bravely protecting our family.”
He is survived by two children, a 16-year-old and an 8-year-old, as well as the baby they are expecting. As of now, no arrests have been made.
