The girl’s father, 22, whose name has not been released, says he caught
Jesus Mora Flores, 47, trying to molest his daughter on his ranch
earlier this month. After hearing the girl scream, the father found her
and removed Flores from on top of his child, the statement said. He
proceeded to inflict several blows to Flores’ head and neck area, the
statement said.
"At this time, I believe the homicide investigation should be sent to the grand jury," Heather
McMinn, the Lavaca County District Attorney, said in the statement. She
went on to say the sheriff was correct not to arrest the father at the
time of the incident, but "all evidence surrounding this homicide will
be presented to the grand jury as soon as possible."
Sheriff Micah Harmon, according to the statement, believes the girl’s
father is remorseful, and did not intend to kill Flores. He called the
case "traumatizing" for the girl and her entire family.
"He was just protecting his daughter and doing what he thought he had to do to protect his daughter," Harmon said.
