I heard this motive for murder and I was stunned.: So I called a friend of mine on the phone and warned him for what I was about to tell him.: After I said a guy killed his own daughters because he didn’t have a car seat the phone went dead for 2 minutes.: My friend couldn’t process the information.: I can’t either!
When asked by detectives why he killed his children, he said, “I was going to take them with me, but I didn’t have car seats,” prosecutor Michelle Kaszuba said during Miguel Mejia-Ramos‘ arraignment Friday in Queens criminal court on a slew of charges, including first-degree murder and weapon possession.
Handcuffed and wearing jeans and a black T-shirt beneath a black hooded sleeveless jacket, Mejia-Ramos, silently stared at the floor in the courtroom, filled with family members and reporters.
“Miguel was like a member of our family. We trusted him,” Evelinda Alvardo, Garcia’s aunt, said in Spanish before the hearing. She then looked at a photo of Garcia that she had stored in her cellphone and burst into tears.
