A Maryland family is devastated after a 13-year-old girl was shot and killed in Langley Park.
Any Davalos was killed on her mother’s birthday, her family told Telemundo 44.
“Our hearts are literally dead alive. We’re literally walking without even wanting to walk. We’re waking up not even wanting to wake up,” her sister said.
After Any was shot, she said she loved her mom, according to audio from a surveillance camera. T44 was not able to independently verify the recording.
“Her thinking about my mom in her last minute, that means to my mom and I so much, because that means she thought of us and she said it out loud,” her sister said.
Prince George’s County police say they found two teen girls shot on 15th Avenue in Langley Park at about 1:50 a.m. on Nov. 3. One of the girls was Any, who died at the scene. The other girl was taken to the hospital.
Later that day, Marcos Melendez Umanzor, 20, was arrested. He now faces several charges, including first-degree murder.
The Department of Homeland security says he’s from El Salvador and entered the country illegally.
Police say the suspect knew the victims. They believe the shooting started after an argument.
Any’s mother reported her missing days before she was killed. As the family grieves her death, they say they want justice.
“The only person who can take our lives is God,” her sister said. “So, I really pray to God that he gives him so much life, so he can play every single second [in his mind] and he can always remember what he did to my sister and the other innocent girl.”
Police said they aren’t releasing additional details, in order to protect the investigation.
