‘I was so proud of both of them’: Father
of teenagers killed in Garfield Heights shooting speaks out
GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio -- The father of the two
teenage siblings who police say were killed
by their mother’s boyfriend, says he cannot understand why someone would
take their lives.
“I don’t want any other person to feel this pain,”
said Manuel Lopez, Sr.
Lopez’s daughter, Giselle Lopez, 19, and her
brother Manuel Lopez, Jr., 17, were shot and killed outside of their Garfield
Heights home Wednesday
night.
Giselle graduated from Garfield Heights High School
with honors last May. Manuel, also known as Manny, had just begun his senior
year at the school.
“I was so proud of both of them,” said Lopez, Sr.
29-year-old Matthew Nicholson is charged with two
counts of murder and three counts of domestic violence. Garfield Heights police
said he works as a private security officer.
Officers responded to a house on East 86th Street
shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday for shots fired. When they arrived, they found
Giselle and Manuel bleeding heavily in the driveway.
Their mother told officers the shooter was
Nicholson, her live-in boyfriend who barricaded himself in the house.
The SWAT team was called to the scene and after
about four hours of negotiating, the alleged gunman surrendered. Police say
Nicholson was wearing a bullet-proof vest when he walked out of the house.
The incident started with an argument between the
victims' mother and the suspect. Manuel intervened to defend his mother and the
suspect threatened to kill everyone, according to the report. As the two
victims left the house with their mother, the suspect stepped outside and fired
a pistol.
The teens’ father said he had never met Nicholson
and that his children never mentioned any sign of violence in the home.
Lopez, Sr. said Giselle was currently attending
classes at the western campus of Cuyahoga Community College, studying to be
nurse. She graduated high school with a 4.1 GPA.
Lopez, Sr. said he last saw his son hours before
the shooting Wednesday.
“He was excited. He told me he had just gotten
hired at Target,” said his father.
Garfield Heights High School’s principal released a
statement on the school website Thursday saying,
“By now, you have likely learned about the tragic death of one of our very own students, Manny Lopez and a recent alumnus, Giselle Lopez, who are brother and sister, during the overnight hours in an unfortunate altercation. Although the incident took place away from school grounds, it has powerfully impacted our school family to its core. We view the High School as an extension of your family, and when something happens to one of us, it truly affects us all…That is the purpose of this call, to solemnly recognize the tragedy that has taken place…about which you will undoubtedly see more, and hear more on the news…and to let you know that we are here for your children. This matter has been addressed in class throughout the day today… The District has had, and will have grief counseling professionals available to all students and staff during the school day into the near future… And, a comprehensive listing of grief, domestic violence and crisis resources will be available on our District homepage. Once again, we as a school family are here to help. Matters such as these often prompt questions and strong emotions…and we encourage you to please take time to talk with your children about this untimely and tragic matter… utilize the online resources that the District will be posting in the near future…and please feel free to contact us at the schools at any time.”
The teens have an older brother, Roberto, who is
serving in the Army and stationed in Louisiana. He is scheduled to arrive in
Cleveland Thursday evening.
A GoFundMe fundraiser has been created to help the
family during this hard time. You can donate here.
