Girl pleads with 911 for help for mom
A 911 tape has been released in the case of a 9-year-old girl who watched her mother stabbed to death with a sword.
Jesus Humberto Canales, 28, allegedly stabbed his live-in girlfriend, Lucy Preciado, 26, in front of the couple’s four young children Saturday at their Lancaster home, said Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials. Canales fled the scene and was still at large Monday.
The girl called 911 early Saturday, telling authorities, “My dad just stabbed my mom … with a sword. He’s leaving right now. Please hurry. I don’t want my mommy to die. I’m scared. I want to go to my grandma’s.”
Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the call was “so horrendous it made a couple of the homicide detectives cry.” He said detectives described the killing as the worst they had ever seen.
