Officers reported the carjacker drove off with the vehicle, dragging the victim along the ground for four or five blocks with her seatbelt trapping her against the car. The suspect reportedly attempted to push Jessica Garza out of the car after robbing an auto parts store, but she was caught in the seatbelt.

“He struck numerous cars and objects and the vehicle came to a rest, at which time he exited the vehicle and ran,” Houston Police Department Captain Belinda Null said.

Lewis Matos, who was in a similar altercation a month prior, saw the events take place through his work window and began chasing down the suspect once he saw him take off. Devastated he couldn’t save the mother of three, he found Brock in a nearby liquor store and kept him from leaving until authorities arrived.
