A Texas pregnant woman claims that after her husband was wounded by vandals who apparently targeted the family’s automobile, she attempted to save his life.
According to a local news outlet, Osvaldo Casas, 37, was slain on Saturday, August 10, when he confronted the vandalism suspects in their vehicle.
The Houston Police Department released a statement confirming that there was a deadly shooting on August 10 at roughly 12:30 a.m. on Loper Street, but it did not specify that Casas was the target of the assault.
According to the police statement, “it is believed the male confronted a suspicious person(s) on his street prior to being shot.” Casas was not identified as the victim in the statement, which said that it was “pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.”
When patrol officers got to the site, they allegedly “found an unresponsive male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” according to the police.
In fact, Casas’ wife, Judith Molina, claimed to have saved her husband’s life. Casas is also the father of two girls, ages 16 and 8.
“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,” Molina stated. “I knew he was gone.”
Casas can be seen sprinting down the street in security footage that news outlet KHOU was able to obtain, just before gunshots are heard. Then, it is said, Casas is seen backing cautiously toward his house before passing out in the arms of his spouse.
Aguirre said, “She tried to give him CPR, and he died in her hands.”

Molina claimed that Casas was eager for his son to be born.
Molina said, “He was so excited about our baby boy, who is due any day now.”
The petition mentions that September 9 is Casas’ due date. The killing is still being investigated, but there aren’t many leads, according to Houston police.
But the Casas family may have a thought: Family members claimed a few days prior that someone had thrown eggs and flour at their car and that a black car had been spotted nearby. Neighbors claimed to have seen the same car—a black SUV or truck—driving slowly around the area the night before Casas passed away.
