Chaos erupted in a Texas courtroom after murder suspect Frank DeLeon Jr. pleaded guilty to killing his teenage girlfriend, Diamond Alvarez. DeLeon agreed to a 45-year prison sentence for the murder, which occurred in January 2022. The courtroom disturbance occurred after Diamond's mother gave an impact statement, during which she called DeLeon a monster. Family members rushed towards DeLeon before being restrained by court officials. DeLeon will be formally sentenced on Thursday and will not be eligible for parole for at least 22 and a half years.
