A mother was concerned about her safety and the safety of her five children. The woman's live-in-boyfriend was causing her unimaginable anxiety, and he snapped when she tried to break up with him. The repercussions were shocking and traumatic for the family.

Milagros Angelica Medina adored her five kids, who meant the world to her. Each one of them had a special place in her heart. The kids aged three, 11, 13, 15, and 18 never imagined their world would be turned upside down right before their eyes.

They were a happy family, but things changed drastically when their mother's boyfriend, Sergio Villalobos Jiménez, came into the picture. They started fearing for their lives and contacted the authorities many times, according to a family friend named Lulu.

The Mother Had Many Safety Concerns

The family's worst nightmare became a reality on an ordinary evening on September 30, 2022, in East Los Angeles, California. Medina purportedly spent the previous three nights wide awake, unable to sleep due to her worries that she was not safe.

Per a friend of the children, the mother also asked her kids to keep an eye on her boyfriend because she feared he would harm her. Her concerns were valid because an unthinkable tragedy was about to unfold.

The kids were paralyzed by the fear that Jiménez would return. They worried for their safety and family friend Lulu hoped the children would receive the psychological help they needed to process the shocking events.

The Tragic and Shocking Experience

Jiménez didn't handle Medina's decision to break up well, and he allegedly reacted with violence. She was stabbed multiple times, and her kids witnessed the horrific ordeal. One of her daughters tried to protect Medina, but she failed.

The suspected perpetrator fled the crime scene, and authorities rushed to the home after receiving a call for help. They found Medina with critical wounds, and she was taken to the hospital.

She tragically passed away at the medical facility, leaving behind five shattered children. A close friend of the 18-year-old child was present during the traumatic ordeal and revealed shocking information. They shared:

"Her five children saw it, [along with] her three-year-old son. [Medina's] 11-year-old daughter tried to defend the mom. I thought it was really brave, but they shouldn't be going through this."

The Kids Are Left without Parents

The kids faced unimaginable pain and trauma. Their father had died four years prior, and thus they were now orphans. Lulu added: "[They are] being displaced out of their home because this man took their mom, and it's not fair."

The kids were paralyzed by the fear that Jiménez would return. They worried for their safety, and family friend Lulu hoped the children would receive the psychological help they needed to process the shocking events.

Police apprehended Jiménez on Sunday, October 2, after they received a tip that he was in the South El Monte area. While the family wants justice, the main focus is on the children.

Support for the Family

A family friend created a GoFundMe page in the hopes of helping the kids bury their mother. On the page, Mariana Maciel wrote:

"I created this account to support my best friend Yareli Jiménez, Milagros Angelica Medina’s oldest daughter. I love you so much and don’t forget that I will always be there for you and your siblings."

The Online Response

Netizens were shocked by the ordeal, and many sympathized with the kids. They faced what nobody should and are now left to grow up without a mom or dad. Many people sent prayers and condolences:

"Lord have mercy. My deepest condolences. May God Almighty convict this horrible man and make him pay for destroying this family!"

- (Anna Pring) October 4, 2022

No child should have to witness what Medina's kids experienced. They were left heartbroken and traumatized by the ordeal and are grieving the unimaginably painful loss.

We hope God grants them the strength to continue during this challenging time. We also send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the kids and their loved ones. May they find it comforting knowing their mother is now an angel watching over them.
