Wife and daughter killed in front of husband


A Southern California woman and her 4-year-old
daughter were shot and killed late Saturday as
they came home from grocery shopping. Long
Beach police said Sunday that officers
responded to a report of a shooting at around
10 p.m.
The woman, identified as 26-year-old Carina
Mancera, was pronounced dead at the scene
and the girl, identified as 4-year-old Jannebel
Anaya, was wounded and transported to a
hospital where she later died, according to the
Long Beach Press-Telegram.
Police said they have no information on the
possible shooter or shooters and a motive was
unclear. The husband and father of the victims,
Luis Anaya, 27, said he had just parked the car
after returning from the store.
He said his wife and daughter had just crossed
the street when he heard the gunfire. “I ran
over and tried to save them, but it was too
late,” he told the paper. “I couldn’t.” Anaya said
he saw the man run down the street and the
assailant fired shots at him but they missed. He
said he didn’t know the man and wouldn’t know
what a possible motive would be.
“I don’t know why he did it, why he came
after my family,” he added. “I don’t have
any problems with anybody.”
Family and friends lined the street where the
shooting occurred. Flowers decorated the
sidewalk as well.
“Our family is heartbroken with this tragic
event, and we hope that you can help us give
these two beautiful souls a graceful resting
place,” the family said.
