Give Him The Horns! The Long Horns!

D avid Rivas Morales died Tuesday from injuries sustained in an assault by an unknown number of black men following a car accident, which occurred in the parking lot of the Booker T. Washington apartment complex, police said. Here the city's Juneteenth celebrations were wrapping up…

The driver of the car carrying Morales struck a 3- or 4-year-old girl, apparently prompting the attack. The child was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

"The driver, for whatever reason, whether he realized he was involved in the collision or his vehicle forced a stop, got out of the car, got into a confrontation with several men was assaulted and killed," Piatt said.

Morales came to his aid and was fatally attacked in what police are calling a "spontaneous homicide." He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The driver was able to get back into his car and drive away. Both he and his vehicle have been located and are part of the ongoing investigation.

"We could have had anywhere from two to 15 and 20 [people] who are actually involved in the assault," Piatt said. Some 2,000 to 3,000 people were gathered in the parking lot at the time.
