综合《每日邮报》等外媒报道,17岁的埃尔南德斯(Kaitlin Hernandez)和祖母同住在德州圣安东尼奥。3月12日晚,住在同一条街上的15岁邻居巴雷拉(Darryl Barrera)前来拜访,约她一起出门散步。由于隔天还要上学,祖母只允许埃尔南德斯外出半小时,结果她迟迟没有回家,还错过服用预防癫痫药物的时间。
家人得知巴雷拉已独自回家,于是前往询问,他声称埃尔南德斯去了附近公车站。但几小时后,埃尔南德斯就被发现陈尸在附近排水沟,腰部以下赤裸,且身上有多处瘀伤与遭人勒毙的痕迹。
当局起初没有足够证据证明巴雷拉涉案,直到6周后在埃尔南德斯指甲中验出巴雷拉的DNA,遂将巴雷拉拘捕,并指控谋杀罪。
事隔逾8个月,巴雷拉上周出庭,当天正好满16岁。法官得知他曾遭生父虐待,生母经常出入监狱,而他在杀害埃尔南德斯前,曾徒手或持刀虐杀20只猫狗和浣熊,且承认有色情成瘾,曾8度尝试轻生。法官裁定他在这宗谋杀案中,需以成年人身分接受审判。
埃尔南德斯的阿姨罗德里格斯(Crystal Barron Rodriguez)透露,少女生前最后一刻曾奋力抵抗,“她求他住手,她为自己的生命而战,她不想死”。而法官的裁决令全家人都松了一口气,“如果他以青少年身分被判入狱,那他17、18岁就已经出狱了”,直言他们希望凶手受到最重的惩罚,“我希望他被判死刑”。
