A Garland, Texas, father protected his family in a tense situation when a carjacker put his loved ones in danger.
On Wednesday, theNew York Postreported that the altercation occurred Sunday after a driver crashed his car into two others about 18 miles from Dallas, Texas, on Highway 66 around 3:30 PM. The driver fled, running to a gas station to find a vehicle and escape the scene.
He found a white Chevy Impala in the parking lot of a shopping center, and a struggle ensued when he tried taking it.
Fox News national correspondent Brooke Taylor posted CCTV footage of the attempted carjacking to social media platform X.
KDFWcorroborated Taylor’s captioning, which said the father shot the man and killed him. Per that outlet, police do not expect to file charges.

Garland Police Lt. Pedro Barineau commented on the matter, “That driver was defending himself and was fighting with that suspect. The car was occupied by several children as well as two other female adults,” per the New York Post.
“We are looking at this as a self-defense case,” he continued. “We’re also looking into why this suspect did what he did.”
The would-be carjacker’s identity was released Thursday by theNew York Post— his name was Jose Ramirez, a 30-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico. It’s unknown when he entered the country.
