HOUSTON — A man is living in fear following the release of his ex-girlfriend, who is accused of shooting him multiple times, per WCNC.
Elvis Muñoz was released from the hospital and is recovering at home after he says his ex-girlfriend tried to kill him. Muñoz said his ex, Alexys Pinto, fired so many shots that her gun eventually ran out of bullets. As he heals from surgeries on his lungs, intestines, and hands, he is increasingly concerned about her recent release on bond.
“You’re willing to take care of someone and love them so much for three years and for them to pay you with bullets, try to take your life,” Muñoz told the outlet.
After some reflection, Elvis Muñoz described his past relationship as abusive. Muñoz described his ex as jealous, controlling, and said she would isolate him from his family and friends. On September 5, his ex-girlfriend, Alexys Pinto, allegedly lured him to a secluded area near 288 and Airport Boulevard under the pretense of watching the sunset, where she then opened fire.
“That’s when I felt my left hand get hit,”
Muñoz said.
“Like I just felt my hand get hot. I was running, holding my chest and stomach.”
Muñoz said she aimed the gun directly at his face, but he was able to move just in time, resulting in a bullet grazing his skin. After emptying her gun on him, he managed to convince Pinto to seek help. She contacted her father and drove Muñoz to a nearby gas station, where help finally arrived. Following multiple surgeries, Muñoz, who once worked as a mechanic, now faces disability with limited use of his hands.
Pinto was released on bond after it was reduced from $75,000 to $10,000. Although she must adhere to strict conditions, including wearing an ankle monitor, Muñoz remains skeptical about her intentions and fears she may attempt to harm him again.
“She might want to come back and do something,”
he said.
