Carjacker Fatally Shot by Father Protecting Family Identified as Illegal from Mexico
The Gateway Pundit reported on a father who fatally shot a carjacker in Garland, Texas, on Sunday.
The carjacker approached the vehicle, jostled with the father, and shoved his way into the car.
Before he was able to turn on the car and take off, with a baby, two adult females, and multiple children inside, the father opened fire.
The carjacker was taken to the hospital, where, ultimately, he succumbed to his injuries.
Cellphone footage was obtained by a witness and shared by KDFW.
Per Fox 4 Dallas, the suspect has been identified by Jose Ramirez, 30. Investigators told the outlet that Ramirez was a Mexican national living in the US illegally, although it is unclear when and where Ramirez entered the country.
According to police, charges against the father are unlikely. Police also note that, before approaching the family, the suspect had already crashed into two cars and was seen trying to break into other vehicles nearby.
