"He always waves, and we tell him hi, and they come back by, and I have a little Yorkie, and sometimes she’ll stop and ask if she can pet the puppy, and so she’ll come up and pet the puppy and stuff," the neighbor said. "Seeing them Friday, they were happy, and on their way telling us hi and bye, and figuring I would see them again Monday afternoon."
The neighbor said she never saw any red flags.
"They looked like just happy kiddos. Nothing out of the ordinary at all," she said. "Just heartbreaking to think that anything could be so bad that you have to take your children’s life. I don’t understand."

‘Kill them all’: Court docs reveal disturbing statements by mother accused of shooting her 4 children

KPRC 2 has obtained court documents that detail the state of mind of a woman accused of shooting all four of her children early Saturday in Brazoria County.

www.click2houston.com

Investigators say Romelus initially told them she “couldn’t talk about it,” then said, “Instead of them doing it to me, I’m gonna do it to them.” When an investigator asked, “Do what?” she responded, “Kill them all,” records show. When asked again why she called 911, Romelus said she did not call 911 but instead “called the devil.”

Pausing a moment to pray for the two childen who survived. May they recover fully (and it would be nice if they don't have memories of what actually happened in that car).

Romelus claimed she had cheated on her fiancé of four years, DeWayne Seymore, and thus did not know which of the two men was her child's father. It later emerged that neither of the two men was the child's dad.

The child whose paternity was in question, named O'Karreo, would now be the same age as the child who was shot dead, but officials told the Daily Mail they will not be releasing the victim's names out of respect for their family.

Seymore was convicted in 2017 of being part of a gang who kidnapped a prosecutor's father, as reported by 11 Alive.
