Grand Prairie street racing crash: What we know about the victims
A 13-year-old girl, her 6-year-old brother and their mom and dad were killed by a driver who police say was street racing in Grand Prairie over the weekend. A 16-year-old boy was the sole survivor.
While one of the witnesses called 911 since Torres was trying to force himself in, the arrest warrant says Bautista went outside and shot Torres in the head three times. He later died at the hospital.
A witness told police that Torres had already stopped banging on the door and had walked away when Bautista went outside to confront him.
According to the affidavit, Bautista told the witnesses, "What? He was trying to come inside."
Police say Bautista got in his car and fled the scene. On Tuesday, he turned himself in at the Dallas County Jail.
Bautista is charged with murder and is being held on a $500,000 bond.
