Dad lured his daughter, 6, her mom to stadium parking lot before shooting them dead in premeditated attack

A dad lured his daughter and her mom to a stadium parking lot under the impression he was going to give them money before shooting them dead in a premeditated attack.

John Mbuyi, 30, gunned down Raissa Thatukila, 33, and Nathy Mbuyi, 6, outside Birdville stadium in Haltom City, Texas, Friday in an ambush cops said he had “carefully planned in advance,” before taking his own life.

Mbuyi got out of his U-Haul truck and shot dead Thatukila and his daughter while they were sitting in their car after luring them to the parking lot “under the pretense of providing money,” the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

He killed the mother of his child amid an ongoing custody dispute, harboring “significant grievances toward her,” Haltom City police said Monday.

Sgt. Rick Alexander previously said the victims knew each other, adding “we believe they have some kind of family relationship,” KDFW-TV reported.

Police also revealed that Mbuyi was grieving the loss of his dad and had expressed “concerning thoughts” about death prior to the shooting.

“Based on the evidence, detectives have concluded this was not a spontaneous incident but a deliberate act of violence,” police said as they described it as a “premeditated and targeted.”

After gunning down his two victims, he shot himself and died in hospital.

Residents spoke of the horror, which unfolded near a high school.

“It’s just heart-wrenching to know that something like that happened at our job,” bus driver Jacque Hall, who was finishing her shift when came across the crime scene, told KDFW.

“I just hope it wasn’t one of the kids from our buses. Because, these kids, I know for me, they’re my kids.

“You cannot pass by here anymore and not think about these families that their lives were lost, and especially, this child.”

Birdville school district officials have offered counseling to students that have been impacted.
