Texas crowd kills passenger in vehicle that struck child

, Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas - A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child, police said Wednesday.

Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a Juneteenth celebration when the attack occurred Tuesday night. The man who was killed had been trying to stop the group from attacking the vehicle's driver when the crowd turned on him, authorities said.

The Austin Police Department identified the victim as David Rivas Morales, 40. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police spokeswoman Toni Chovonetz said she had no further information, including how many people were involved.

The driver, who was able to get away, is cooperating with investigators, police said.

I really want to say a couple things but I know I'll **** people off if I do.

But I'm thinking them.

I think you're a suppressive person, Nomad.

(because that's really depressing news)

I heard about this yesterday, and the first question that popped into my head was..."Where were the parents?"
