Teen charged with murdering ex-girlfriend who was shot 22 times

A 17-year-old boy was arrested on Monday and charged with murder for allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend 22 times while she was walking her dog in a Houston park last week, authorities said.

Diamond Alvarez, 16, was lured to the park last Tuesday after receiving a text message from suspect Frank Deleon Jr. asking her to meet him there, the victim’s mother, Anna Machado, said.

Shortly after, Alvarez’s family heard the gunshots from their home and rushed to the nearby green space when their dog, Peanut, came home alone, relatives said.

The family found Alvarez’s body and the mother tried to revive her daughter by performing CPR, but it was too late.
