Richmond mom victim of axe attack by 14-year-old neighbor

A Richmond woman is recovering in the hospital tonight from serious injuries after being struck in the back with an axe just a couple nights ago. KTVU's Amber Lee spoke with the victim's family and investigators about what led to this encounter. She's live tonight outside Richmond PD with their story. Amber. Richmond police tell me they're still interviewing witnesses and collecting surveillance videos. In the meantime, the victim's family says they're concerned that justice won't be served because the suspect is only 14 years old. On Thursday night, Richmond police returned to the scene of a stabbing that left a 30-year-old mother seriously injured and spoke with the victim's sister. Jasmine Hernandez is now recovering in the hospital after undergoing surgery for injuries including damage to her back muscle. I'm still trying to process it. I'm shocked because my sister stopped breathing for For a bit in my hands. The victim's sister, Stephanie Hernandez, shares with me video of first responders arriving at the scene to treat her sister on Tuesday night around 9 o'clock. Police say a 14-year-old neighbor struck Jasmine once in the back with what's called a carpenter's hammer that has an axe on one end. I still just close my eyes and I hear her screaming, asking me for help. Police say the attack started as a verbal argument between Jasmine's partner Irvin Henriquez with a neighbor over a parking space on the street where they live. Stephanie tells me the neighbor who drives this silver car tried to block her sister's partner who's the driver of the black car from parking in a public space in front of the neighbor's home. Police say the dispute escalated into a physical fight and that led to a confrontation between the two men's female partners. At one point, police say the neighbor's 14-year-old son went into the home and brought out the ax-like tool and struck Jasmine in the back once. Stephanie says it led to more people getting involved in the physical altercation. Police say someone also slashed Jasmine's partner in the elbow. But he wasn't able to identify his attacker. Stephanie says the neighbor's other son attacked her. It's like a scratch when I hit the floor and then a bruised lip. The family's matriarch says she cannot believe a dispute over a parking space escalated into potentially deadly violence. She hopes this incident will be a teachable moment for everyone involved. We only live once and for us to risk it this way, Not to act on our emotions and just... Walk away. She didn't deserve this, and justice has to be served. The family has started an online fundraiser to relocate Jasmine, her partner, and their one-year-old daughter. Police tell me the 14-year-old is being held at Juvenile Hall. He faces charges of attempted murder and felony battery. His mother is out on bail. She faces charges of accessory and felony battery. Live in Richmond, Amber Lee, KTVU, Fox 2 News.
