The 17-year-old didn’t have his EMT certification yet, but in the critical moments after authorities say April Peck was shot by her boyfriend on Sunday, Wesley was all she had.

Before the teen could do more, Peck’s boyfriend came roaring back in a Chevy Malibu.

“If you help her, I’m going to kill you,” he said, according to Wesley’s mother, who spoke to the Advocate, a newspaper based in Baton Rouge.

The boyfriend, Terrell Walker, rammed the car into Wesley, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office. The car pushed him into the side of an arriving ambulance, shattering his arm and snapping his femur, according to a GoFundMe page set up by his family.

Injured, Wesley crawled to the median. Investigators say Walker pointed his gun and shot the teen twice.

Walker also fired at the ambulance’s crew, but didn’t hit them, before getting in the car and peeling off.

First responders ultimately sorted out the injured. Peck, a 30-year-old mother of two, was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she died.

Wesley, a senior at Central High School, was taken there, too, and went through two surgeries in three days.

Walker was gone when deputies arrived, but investigators initiated a manhunt.

They saw him walking on Blue Bonnet Boulevard near Interstate 10 and approached.

According to CBS affiliate WAFB, the deputies ordered Walker to put his hands up. He pulled out a handgun instead.

They “exchanged gunfire striking the suspect who was later pronounced dead,” according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Walker, a felon who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 1992 and to possession of a firearm by a felon 14 years later, had a tumultuous relationship with Peck, according to the Advocate. Walker was frequently jealous and often violent, family members told the newspaper. But the couple’s separations never lasted.

Peck had gotten a restraining order against him two weeks ago, the newspaper reported, but they continued to see each other. He used her Chevy Malibu to commute to his job and had picked her up from work a half-hour before shooting her and hurling her into the street.

Wesley found her there a little later. He was headed home after leaving the Mall of Louisiana.

That woman was an idiot. Was she also a "great mom" whose kids witnessed her violent relationship?
At least there was sort of a happy ending: suicide by cop.
 
Walker sure was hell bent on killing April thats for sure. I'm not sad about how the story ended with the perp. Had he lived...someone else would have died eventually. He should have been in prison. I wish a speedy recovery to the hero in this story Daniel Wesley. Although he was unable to save April Pecks life...he didn't just simply stand by...he put himself out there to try to his best to save her life...ultimately almost losing his own.
