A Texas man and his 1-year-old daughter are both dead after authorities say that he stabbed her to death and then fatally stabbed himself during a standoff with police.
According to police, the incident began when 24-year-old Alexander Barrios Ordoñez went to a business in Rosenburg, Texas, on Tuesday night. He got into an argument with his former employer and stabbed him. He then fled in the man’s tow truck.
The man was seriously injured but is expected to recover.
Several hours later, at about 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday, officers spotted the truck and ordered Ordoñez to pull over. When he refused, they began a pursuit. According toABC13, officers stopped the stolen vehicle with spike strips.
When Ordoñez exited the vehicle, authorities say he was carrying Leylani. She was covered with blood.
It’s unclear why Ordoñez stabbed his daughter. AGoFundMehas been established to cover funeral costs.
A funeral will be held at a later date.
