A 15-year-old girl was fatally shot in the back while walking her family dog near her Houston home.
Diamond Alvarez was discovered lying in a field after she was struck 22 times in the back around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday night.
The family say Alvarez had previously argued with her boyfriend and had agreed to meet with him at the site where she was killed.
No arrests have yet been made.
Her family told Houston NBC affiliate
'Whoever shot this girl 22 times in the back, they are cowards,' said Anna's partner Moczygenba.
Alvarez was a sophomore and made the honor roll at Madison High School.
A makeshift memorial has been set up at the spot where Alvarez was found.
