In a case that’s gripped the nation, a convicted robber has been sentenced to death for the heart-wrenching killing of a teenage boy who gave his life to protect his 5-year-old sister during a violent home invasion.
Security footage from a doorbell camera shows the terrifying moment masked intruders stormed the family’s front porch late one night. Inside, 14-year-old Daniel stood between the attackers and his little sister, refusing to let harm come her way.
According to courtroom testimony, Daniel fought bravely—giving his sister time to hide—before being fatally shot. The suspect, heavily tattooed and showing no emotion during the trial, reportedly smirked in court before learning his fate.
The jury took less than two hours to return a unanimous death sentence.
Daniel’s family described him as a “real-life superhero,” and his final act of courage has sparked an outpouring of support and heartbreak across social media.
