http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5150585/Girl-16-shot-dead-boyfriend-27-crashed.htmlA 16-year-old girl was allegedly shot dead by her 27-year-old boyfriend before he crashed the car they were travelling in in north Connecticut.
Evalyce Santiago was found dead with gunshot wounds to her head and hand inside the wreckage in Waterbury, New Haven County.
Her boyfriend Dominique Pittman was rescued from the wreckage and arrested by police.
Police found a weapon in the car and have since charged Pittman with killing the teenager.
Pittman and Miss Santiago were in a relationship at the time of her death, but Pittman also had three children with her older sister.
Police say they have determined that Santiago was shot at some point before the car crashed.
However, it is yet to be established if she died from the gunshot wounds or the crash, which saw the vehicle wrapped around a telephone pole, local news reports.
'He was my son in law. I just want the truth,' Miss Santiago's adoptive father told WFSB.com
'He was dating my daughter and he has three kids with my other daughter.'
Miss Santiago's family have paid tribute to the 'vibrant' teenager who 'knew how to light up a room'.
Francisco Rivera, Santiago's grandfather, told NBC Connecticut he raised Santiago, and did not know she was dating Pittman.
'Nobody knows nothing until something happens. That's when we all realize the tragedy. It was under our noses and we didn't see it,' he said.
'We go on with life. He looks at four walls and figures out what he did wrong,' Rivera said.
