“On July 8, that day they killed my daughter.” Hard-faced, a man in Modesto, California, searches for answers to understand how Christine’s death could have happened and hopes the investigation will determine whether “that man” is guilty so that “he pays.”

Christopher Chavez’s 27-year-old daughter, Christine, was beaten and maimed by a large lawnmower while sleeping in a Modesto park.

The person who operated the machine, cutting brush, says he did not see it. But Christopher is told by witnesses that the operator was driving the mower “really fast”.

What happened to Christine in the park

Christine made her life partly remote from family. The woman was one of the homeless people living in Modesto, Univisión reports.

On July 8, 2023, she was in the park and between 10 and 11 a.m. she went to wash her hair in a river (or ravine, says her father).

An hour later, Christine told some acquaintances she was going to sleep and went to bed, sprawled out on the grass in Beard Brook Park.

Unforeseen, tragedy. One of the workers who was mowing the land claims he did not see her and ran over Christine with the heavy machine.

That man operated a John Deere tractor with a lawnmower, the American press explains.

wreckage everywhere

“My daughter was killed,” repeats the father, who received the hard news when the police contacted him and went to the park.

He stated to Univisión that when he arrived at the scene, there were no men in uniform and “when he walked through the park, he found remains of his skull, teeth and some pieces of bone lying on the grass.”

For the Chávez family, as Esmeralda puts it in a GoFundMe post, this is “the worst way to die without doing absolutely nothing wrong. And it hurts so much that I just slept and didn’t hurt anyone.”

The case is treated as an accident, but the family asks to go to any length.

he lived his way

The woman had a young daughter and, according to La Nación, lived on the street between the ages of three and four.

Christopher told Univisión what many inside and outside of California are wondering: Why was Christine sleeping in the park, why was she living on the street?

“My daughter was quite rebellious, we had sold the house about a month ago and I told her to go to my sister’s house. I had offered him a sum of money to buy a trailer, but he told me, “No daddy, I’m going to live my life the way I want,” he said.

A few days after this tragedy, the father pointed out: “This is a death that I cannot understand.”

Beard Brook Park, referring to the aforementioned media, is owned by the E & J Gallo Winery company, which said in a statement that the woman was “lying in an invisible place, where the weeds were overgrown.”

However, Christopher Chávez maintains his position: “I think that man was strong on the mower. Let them examine him and if he is guilty, let him pay with the prison.”
