When I (see) there is nothing more I can do, I started telling him how much I love him and that I am always here,” said Machado.
Houston police on Thursday continued to look for the diamond shoot several times.

“The big lashes,” Machado said when he laughed at a moment of levity.
Mejia said Diamond brought joy to everyone he met.

He doesn’t deserve it.
Nothing does it, especially not a young woman who is 16 years old.
So, we just want justice and anyone responsible for Brought to court, “Mejia said.

Machado said the diamond brothers were dealing with his death as well as possible but his 14-year-old brother had trouble because he was the first person to find his body.
“He just wants to be strong.
He doesn’t want to cry,” he said.

Who wants someone to be out there like that, which is dangerous?” she says.
