Tragedy has struck, once again. Genario Garcia doused his girlfriend, three children, and himself with gasoline in a small car and set the group on fire.
“Antigone Monique Allen, 18, who had recently filed an assault complaint against the 24-year-old man, survived for nearly eight hours at a Seattle hospital, sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said. She managed to tell investigators and family what happened before she died.
Garcia snorted cocaine while they were out Tuesday night and the two began arguing, Laveda Allen said. Antigone - "Mona" to her family and friends - demanded that he take her home.
They stopped at a gas station, and, because she had been dozing, she didn't notice right away that he had filled a container with gasoline and placed it in the back seat, Laveda Allen said.
They drove along back roads before Garcia pulled a gun and pointed it at Antigone Allen's head. He grabbed the container and splashed gasoline on the children, Antigone and himself, Laveda Allen said.
He flicked a lighter and the car erupted, left the road and flipped over.”
This is disturbing, but I was also shocked by the reaction of Allen’s sister Laveda Allen. She claims she doesn’t blame Garcia, the father of her sister’s children.
"He was a good person," she said. "He was an illegal immigrant here, but he was a hard worker and tried to do what he had to do to make it.
"He just went over the deep end. He probably just loved her too much. He didn't want to see his kids being taken care of by another man."
So that’s what good men do? Rather than have their children taken care of by another, they set them on fire. What a sick bitch.
