IRVING, Texas - Irving police are searching for a murderer who killed a mother and her daughter Friday night.

The family of the mother and daughter killed want justice.
Candles and flowers cover the front steps of an Irving apartment. The memorial is for 23-year-old Nayeli Bolaños Medina and her mother 56-year-old Juana Medina Rodriguez.
Family members confirm with FOX 4 that the two were shot and killed last Friday.
Irving police say the shooting happened just before 9 p.m. at the Park Springs apartment complex on West Irving Boulevard.
One of the victims was found dead inside the apartment. The other was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police say the shooter ran away before police got there.
The family sent a statement saying, "The family hopes the person responsible for this is found and that they pay for the injustice they committed. They are leaving a 5-year-old an orphan."
The family says Medina’s 5-year-old son was inside the apartment when the shooting happened.
