A 1-year-old Texas child at the focus of an Amber Alert was stabbed to death by her father, who then murdered himself after he found himself cornered by cops, according to the police.
After her father, 24-year-old Alexander Barrios Ordonez, led police on an hour-long pursuit in a stolen tow truck early on Wednesday morning, Leylani Ordonez was discovered to be fatally wounded, according to ABC13.

Lt. Suni Jugueta of the Rosenberg Police Department told reporters that after pursuing cops used spike strips to immobilize Ordonez's car on FM 762 in Rosenberg at 3 a.m., the father got out with his baby, who was shrouded in blood. Ordonez then fatally wounded himself. After being transported to a hospital, the father and daughter were both declared dead.

Around six o'clock in the evening, the incident started. The previous day, according to authorities, Ordonez entered a Rosenberg business, stabbed a man for whom he had previously worked, and then stole his tow truck.
The baby was then kidnapped by Ordonez after driving to the Brooks Avenue home of his daughter's nanny, which led to the police issuing the Amber Alert.

For the following several hours, Ordonez spent his time in an unknown manner and location, but at about 2 a.m. Police from the Sugar Land Police Department saw him on Wednesday operating the stolen green 2004 F-450 pickup truck close to University and Highway 6.
When police asked the motorist to halt, Ordonez refused, starting a chase that concluded an hour later back in Rosenberg.
