Huron Township – This is one of the most horrifyingly callous stories I have written about in a while. I have read through about 15 different articles and got sicker the entire time. Sharon Hinojosa, 29, lived in a mobile home with her boyfriend Justin Whisler. Early Friday morning, the mobile home caught fire. Hinojosa was able to escape the blaze with the 1-year-old she shared with Whisler. Sadly,her two other children she had with another man, 4-year-old Anthony, and 3-year-old Alayna, perished in the flames — despite attempts by neighbors to rescue them. Now police have charged Hinojosa with setting the fire and purposely leaving her two children to burn alive. It is a heinous accusation and now that some details have come to light, coupled with the fact that she is now in the hospital after drinking rubbing alcohol, seem to have a lot of merit

Neighbor Joe Dickes said he saw the front porch ablaze about 3:15 a.m. Friday and ran to talk to Hinojosa, who stood outside by a car where her 1-year-old was inside. Dickes said Hinojosa did not call for help until the fire was well under way. “It seemed to me that fire was pretty well going before she started screaming,” he said. He added that she didn’t mention her two other kids were still in the trailer until he asked where they were. Him and a neighbor began trying to get to the kids by busting out windows, as Hinojosa never told them specifically where the two kids were inside the trailer. “I said, ‘Come on kids, it’s Uncle Jo-Jo; jump into my arms.’ Then the flames blew out and singed my hair,” he said. “I heard the babies screaming for a minute, minute and a half, then they just stopped.” Let that last line sink in a second.
During this time, Hinojosa did place a call to 911. You can listen to it here. In it you can here a very frantic Hinojosa completely unable to clearly articulate where she lived in the Huron Estates Mobile Home Park. Police allege she was not unable, simply unwilling. Neighbors also state that while the rescue attempt was underway, she ran up and down the street screaming while telling everyone that the reason why she left her two children in the trailer was because “she could not wake them up.”
Looks like the motive may have been the “keep the penis” scenario we hear of a lot. Neighbors and relatives told the Free Press that Hinojosa and Whisler were in the process of breaking up. The couple had dated about three years and Hinojosa was supposed to move out of the mobile home. Neighbors said Hinojosa and Whisler had lived in the area for about six months and were often heard arguing. In July, police responded to a domestic violence call after Hinojosa claimed she was pushed to the ground by Whisler. Hinojosa refused to press charges.
Hinojosa has been charged with arson, second-degree murder and felony murder, which is murder committed during another crime. The maximum penalty is life in prison. Hinojosa’s arraignment was not immediately set because currently she is suffering non life-threatening injuries after drinking rubbing alcohol while in custody over the weekend. Funeral donations also can be sent to the Alayna and Anthony Hinojosa Fund at any Bank of America branch.
Not much I can add to this. words could not possibly convey the contempt I have for this woman if she is guilty of what she is being accused of doing. If it is true, I can only hope the screams of those two kids burning alive are seared in her brain. I hope she never has one minute of peace until the day she dies. For the people who tried to save those kids, specifically Joe Dickes, I hope that you know you did absolutely everything you could have done to try and save those kids.
