“When I got there, there were tape ups and forensics and all kinds of things. I ran to the police and said, 'Hey, my daughter is in there. You know, my daughter is in there. I'm trying to find him. He is not at home.' That's when they told me, 'Sit aside for a minute,'” Caraballo said.

“He had a heart of gold. He was my beautiful Angel child. I don't even have words to say. I can't even stand it. I need him. Our family is devastated,” Angelina's mother, Leticia Pimentel Caraballo wrote on the page.
