VIDEO: "Stop calling 911" police tells woman moment before her boyfriend murdered her and her child

Practically each and every day there is news of somebody getting killed as a result of domestic violence and this time the casualty is a lady from Sanford, Florida and her 8-year-old child who were murdered by her sweetheart hours after the police were called to her home about a domestic dispute.

The suspected Allen Cashe had gone on a shooting binge, discharging 24 bullets from his AK-47 at Latina and her whole family. He likewise shot at and harmed two other random individuals who were blocking his way as he attempted to make his escape.

Cashe had initially called police around 3.20am as he and his girlfriend were in disagreement outside a convenience store. When police appeared, he told them Latina stole his keys and also accused her of showing him an ‘attitude’ after ‘coming home from the club drunk’. Latina in reprisal, accused him of keeping her house keys. The Police then settled the case as best they could and left.

Just after 20 minutes, they got another call to Latina's home in Sanford, Florida and saw them arguing in the garden. Latina purportedly claimed that Cashe had a firearm yet police questioned her claim.

One of the police said: "She’s making false accusations. It’s the second time she’s done it."

Another officer was heard saying: "We’re going to handle it, ma’am, just stop calling 911 and making up accusations that you don’t know about, alright?"

By then, police chose it was a civil matter, not a criminal type, and did not make a arrest. Disappointed with the way the police took care of the circumstance, Latina said she ought to have lied that her boyfriend had hit her. Police held up and after Cashe went out they likewise left yet he came back to the house around 6 a.m. with a weapon, kicked the entryway in and murdered Latina in her bed and her son Branden Christian as he was sleeping on the couch. He likewise shot Latina's dad, Bertis Gerard Herring Jr, and her other 7-year-old child, Brendon Christian.

Neighbours called 911 to report shots after they saw Herring Jr., standing outside in blood and shouting for help. Cashe said he did what he did in light of the fact that he was annoyed with Latina for calling the police. He was formally accused of first-degree murder of Latina and her child. He is in custody at the Seminole County Jail and is being held with no bail option.

It was uncovered that Cashe has a background marked with violence and abuse. Court record shows he's been apprehended not less than 5 times for violations running from violence and battery to threats, however each time he went free and police disclosed it was on the grounds that his casualties were always scared to prosecute him.

The Sanford police chief, Cecil Smith stated that: "Part of the issues is that we have so many victims who refuse to prosecute...

“They will file the complaints, they will file the charges but when it gets into the court system they choose to step back."
