Here's the little punk. He has a defiant chin and dead eyes. She was much too good for him.
She looks like a sweet young lady. Like I said, too good for him.
You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The 17-year-old boyfriend of a teen girl who was shot and killed in southwest Houston has been released from jail after he was arrested for her murder.
Frank Deleon Jr., 17, posted his $250,000 bond Wednesday morning, according to court records. He's charged with the murder of 15-year-old Diamond Alvarez.
Family members heard gunshots on Jan. 11 around 9:30 p.m. and grew worried because they knew Alvarez was outside, walking her dog named "Peanut."
The video above is from a previous report.
Her mother went outside and found her daughter shot 22 times in the 15400 block of Park Manor near Markwood Lane in an open greenspace, just a couple blocks from their home.
Police said Alvarez's gunshot wounds were consistent with her laying on her back on the ground at the time of her murder. Numerous shell casings were found around her body.
According to Houston police, Deleon was simultaneously in a romantic relationship with Alvarez and another girl.
When Alvarez learned about the other relationship, she went to meet Deleon in the neighborhood. That's when he shot her multiple times, police said.
Deleon was arrested Monday night after detectives worked with the community to track down witnesses and leads, HPD said.
In court, prosecutors said that when officers arrested Deleon, a suitcase was found in his room, packed with enough belongings for more than an overnight trip.
When prosecutors requested his $250,000 bond, they said there were concerns that Deleon would be violent against Alvarez's family and retaliate.
According to family members, Deleon was violent against Alvarez in the past, including punching her in the face and pointing a gun at her.
The couple was together for six or seven months, and the relationship had recently ended, the prosecutor said in court.
Prosecutors said that recently, Alvarez saw Deleon with another girl at a quincea?era, and that made her mad.
Investigators said Deleon had been involved with the other girl for a couple years, and begged Alvarez not to tell anyone he and Alvarez had been seeing each other, sparking an argument.
That's when he reportedly asked Alvarez to meet him in the neighborhood to talk.
When he was arrested, prosecutors said Deleon told police that Alvarez was stalking his new girlfriend, which caused her to break up with him. His new girlfriend reportedly told Deleon to leave her alone on the night of the murder and blocked his calls.
Police said Deleon lied to them when he was arrested and said he didn't meet up with Alvarez and hadn't seen her, despite surveillance video and screenshots with evidence of the encounter.
Under his bond conditions, Deleon cannot have contact with anyone involved with the case, including the other alleged girlfriend, any witnesses or their family members. He was granted house arrest with a GPS monitor.
Deleon's parents appeared with him in court Wednesday, where the judge reiterated that if it is discovered he is not living at their home, his bond will be revoked.
Deleon is scheduled to appear in court again on March 9.
The two had been going out for less than a year and Machado said she never saw any red flags to warn her that her daughter was in dangerSo which one is it??According to family members, Deleon was violent against Alvarez in the past, including punching her in the face and pointing a gun at her
Isn't that a relatively low bond for someone who is accused of shooting a child 22 times? Should there even be a bond??
Exactly. The mother also said she was "always crying over him." Now we're hearing there were punches and guns. I know at times, teenage drama can seem petty to adults, but it looks like there were some serious red flags going on here.
Not blaming the family, it just makes me question if she grew up in a culture of violence. As a victim advocate, I knew plenty of people who didn't think an occasional punch or pulling a gun in anger were necessarily "warning signs."
That might sound crazy, but the very concept of what constitutes "violence" in today's world runs anywhere from unspeakable acts of horror to hate speech. Face punches and gun threats fall somewhere in between, depending on your collective life experience and personal ideology. People will tolerate what they've come to expect, it's like crate training a dog.
I'm going to guess that poor little Diamond was familiar with violence; maybe not in the home, but in school, among friends, around the community. I'm sad for her, and I'm sad for her family.
May she rest in peace...

I thought the same thing...

A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend last year was officially sentenced to 45 years in prison on Thursday after accepting a plea deal the day before.
Frank DeLeon Jr. killed 16-year-old Diamond Alvarez in January 2022. He will have to serve at least half of his sentence before he's eligible for parole.
Good. Talk about overkill.
