SWEENEY TEEN TEEN killed Easter weekend, family is looking for answers

Everything happened in Sweeny, Texas, in the Windmill Run Apartments.

A month and two days after 16-year-old Robert Phillips had been shot down here, his mother and his aunt say that they will be his voice.

“I gave you 30 days and now speak,” said Nancy Phillips.

Mother says she wants justice for her 16-year-old son

What you say:

Nancy Phillips says her son was shot down shortly before Easter Sunday.

She says Robert sold Vapes and exchanged news on Instagram with a possible buyer.

“You took part of my heart on the day you took him, you took part in me,” said Philipps.

“As for $ 35, they did it,” said Paola Trejo, said his aunt.

The family says they want answers from the Sweeny police

What we know:

The family says she found out five hours later that Robert was killed. They added, he drove his mother's vehicle who is registered with his mother.

They left the house and came to the Sweeny police station where they had to wait – until someone confirmed inside that it was Robert.

“The car is actually registered at the other address in Sweeny, and you said that Mijo or Robert did not have his IDs because he accidentally left it home with a friend. In the end, they managed the plates. Why didn't they direct and contact the plates immediately, whoever the car was registered?” Trejo said. “Then we showed him the picture and then we collapsed. He just shook his head, yes, and then we collapsed and we always waited for someone to tell us what was going on.”

Both mother and aunt say that Robert was a clever child who had dreams of going to college and pursuing a career in radiology, but everything was taken away and they want to know why.

“As soon as I go to his room, I collapse every evening and cry for him,” said Philipps.

We turned to the Sweeny police for an update, but the person we have to talk to was not in office on Thursday. However, we will remain in this story.
