Texas man killed after vehicle hits child
Reuters | Thursday, 21 June 2007

A Texas man was beaten to death by enraged onlookers after the car in which he was riding struck a 4-year-old girl, said police in Austin, Texas on Wednesday.


Investigators believe David Rivas Morales, 40, was beaten by two or three men on Tuesday night after the girl was struck in the parking lot of an apartment building, said an Austin police commander. About two dozen people watched the fatal assault.

The girl was treated at an Austin hospital and released.

The men initially attacked the driver of the car but turned on Morales after he got out of the vehicle to try to stop the assault, said Commander Harold Piatt of the Austin police homicide unit.

"There was no weapon, it appears he was beaten with hands and feet," Piatt said.

The driver was able to leave the area in his car and was cooperating with homicide detectives.

Morales' sister, Margaret Morales, said her brother's killing was a "nightmare."

"You see it done somewhere else in other towns, but you never, never, think it could happen to you, that it would be one of your family members," she said.

While Morales is Hispanic and his attackers were black, police said they don't believe the attack was racially motivated.

"This wasn't a hate crime," Piatt said. "This wasn't a racist crime. There is absolutely no reason to think race had anything to do with this."

The parking lot was a block and a half away from a city-sponsored celebration that marks the anniversary of the June 19, 1865, announcement to Texas slaves they were free following the US Civil War.

can you quote the story please...my job blocks AOL

I'd shoot all of them.

Hispanic guy hits a 4 year old (probably black) kid and gets beat to death by a bunch of black people and I'm supposed to beleive it wasent a racist crime?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rotfl::rotfl:

jesus christ man, texans are raw dog

He probably used the N-word......

yea for some reason that will do it...maybe he was driving a....nevermind

Of course the way the article is written, it looks like the media want people to beleive it was racial despite the fact that it prolly isn't. I prolly would have whooped his ass...I mean I understand that if you don't have a liscense plate you should not be in the street but damn man a 4 year old...the speed limit could not have been more than 25 as what parent would let their child play on a non residental street with a high speed limit.
thanks dancemf666 for quoting
????A tranny kid????

The link you posted said he hit a 2 year old boy :confused:

I guess all those dudes just upped their street cred a bit.

Sucks a kid was hit, thankfully she is ok. But have an ounce of self control maybe, I don't know, try being a normal human for once?

...black people lynching in texas, Anarchy will surely ensue! The sky will fall! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!*

obscure reference. thnx.

Sucks he hit the kid but I heard he was driving a evo with a LS1 in it and thats why they beat him down.

No you forget, everyone is a gangsta and needs to show out for every one. Really though, you don't kill some one for hitting a 4 year old...rape, ya hang em'...nondisiplinary and intentinal physical abuse...shoot they ass...accidentally hitting with a car...give em' hell...just don't kill em.

A ghostbusters reference, nice.

I thought it was a civic with a lt1 in it but w/e.

It wasn't even the driver. It was the passenger trying to stop the beating. How do people stand around and not stop people from kicking a lifeless body?

thank you.

what were the circumstances of the accident, if it was an accident, and not avoidable, then wtf.

if the guy was speeding or doing something stupid, or driving an evo/sti/awd vehicle its understandable

wait...so at which point did the guy in the car(driver) die?

He didn't. They attacked the driver then when the passenger, Morales, got out to stop them they attacked and killed him while the driver fled.

Oh I see...wtf hit the guys beating your friend down don't run....>_>asshole.

All that and the kid only had non life threatening injuries
