GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. — A 6-year-old girl is fighting for her life after her father shot her in the head Sunday during a murder-suicide in Georgia, according to police.
The child, Eva Diaz, ran to a neighbor’s home for help around 1 a.m., Glynn County police said. Her father, 24-year-old Jesus Diaz, shot her and her mother, 21-year-old Emiko Diaz, before killing himself, investigators said.
Eva Diaz was taken by helicopter to Savannah Memorial Hospital, where staff confirmed she was in critical condition Monday morning in the intensive pediatric unit.
Glynn County Police confirmed on Facebook that police found Eva's parents dead in a bedroom at Westminster Apartments in Brunswick.
A candlelight service for Emiko Diaz is scheduled for Saturday.
