HOUSTON, Texas -- An arrest has been made in the brutal carjacking that resulted in the stabbing death of a mother of five. Harris County Sheriff’s investigators said they arrested one suspect in the murder of Tina Davila and charges have been filed against an illegal immigrant they say stabbed the woman several times.
Davila was walking into a mobile phone store in northeast Harris County Wednesday afternoon when a man grabbed her keys in an attempt to steal her car. Davila, whose 4-month-old daughter was still in the car, fought the would-be carjacker.
In the struggle, the man repeatedly stabbed Davila before making a getaway in a waiting car driven by an accomplice. The whole brutal attack was captured by the mobile phone store’s security cameras.
Investigators said too that the assailant was caught in security video stealing beer from a convenience store not long before the attack at the mobile phone store.
