Jose and Cindy Ibarra are struggling to cope with the murder of their 13-year-old daughter Brianna after she was dragged to death while attempting to escape a carjacking Saturday.
Wichita police said Brianna was sitting behind the driver’s seat of the family’s Ford Escape while it was parked near a restaurant with the engine running. Her family had gone inside to pick up food. Officers said that was when Kevin Palmer, 34, allegedly got into the SUV and drove off, with Brianna in the backseat.
Police said Brianna tried to get out of the car but got entangled in the seatbelts while outside the vehicle. Palmer continued to drive for several miles, dragging Brianna to her death, police said.
A bystander called 911, and when officers caught up with Palmer, he ran away but was eventually arrested.
“This is one of the saddest cases I have been associated with in my over 28 years of law enforcement,” Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said in a news release.
This s.o.b. deserves to die by the same way.
Agreed…want to defend police and reduce crime at the same time. Eye for an eye punishment. Sentences/punishment are too lenient, and most aren’t even served completely. You wan to make a criminal think twice about harming someone…when they know the exact same will be done to them you better believe it they will.
