7-Year-Old Utah Girl Is Killed in Home After Man Allegedly Drunkenly Fires Bullet Through Wall

On Sunday, 21-year-old Trever Joe Pinter, 36-year-old Colin David Howells and 34-year-old Christopher Robert O’Connell were taken into custody in the death of Zaydanielys Rodriguez Irizarry.

“She wasn’t like any other 7-year-old,” Zaydanielys’s father, Danny Rodriguez, toldFox 13. “My little girl was polite, intelligent and well-behaved.”

“I thought, ‘Wow, it’s the perfect place to stay a year or two,'” he said.

“She was asking for help, she was coughing blood on the floor,” Rodriguez said. “I told my boss I needed to leave because my daughter was bleeding from her mouth. That’s all I knew.”

Rodriguez rushed home to the Wasatch Commons Apartments and first thought his daughter might have fallen. He rushed her to the hospital where she died.
