murder victim Jessica Alejandro
Philadelphia, PA – Joshua Garcia Maldonado came to Philadelphia from Puerto Rico six years ago with his longtime sweetheart Jessica Alejandro. Once in the U.S., they had 4 children together: Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, and Jessica. (ages 6, 3, 2, 1)
Yep, you read that right! Joshua Maldonado and Jessica Alejandro named all of their sons Joshua and their daughter Jessica! Not quite 23 Daves, but they seemed to be working on it. Sadly, Joshua The Elder put the kybosh on any hopes of topping Mrs. McCave’s prodigious feat.
You see, Joshua liked to run around with lots of women while Jessica took care of all the little Joshes and Jess. Finally, Jessica, 24, had enough, and ended the relationship a few weeks ago. So what do you think Joshua did about it, Demonites? That’s right. On August 27th, Joshua went to the Philadelphia rowhouse where Jessica lived with their children, barricaded Jessica and himself in a bedroom, shot her in the head, and then turned the gun on himself.
Did I mention the kids were home? Oh, yes. The kids were home at the time, along with a 1-year-old nephew for whom Jessica was caring.
Tomas Lopez is Jessica’s cousin, and lived in the rowhouse, too. He came home shortly before 8 PM, to find the 6-year-old Joshua crying on the sidewalk outside the home, claiming “something happened to mommy and daddy.” He went inside, forced open the bedroom door, and found the grisly scene.
Jessica Alejandro liked to coordinate block parties, and recently hosted a worship service in front of her house for a fledgling church that didn’t yet have a building. She had plans to attend college to study Human Resources. But she also knew that Maldonado had recently purchased a gun, and she ignored the pleas of family and friends to seek a restraining order: she felt safe because of the children.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard that one too many times. Ladies, if everyone you know is telling you to get a restraining order, there’s a reason. Please do it. For your own safety and that of your children.
Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, and Jessica are now in the care of relatives because Joshua Garcia Maldonado is a violent scumbag of the highest order.
