HOUSTON - A mother of six is recovering from her injuries after her life was threatened and she was brutally beaten early Tuesday morning.

She's also wondering how one of the suspects in the crime was still on the streets due to his lengthy criminal history.

According to Samantha Mora, Harris and David tried to force her mother into the Jeep and one of them reportedly said to the other, “Just shove her in the car and shoot her."

Police attempted to get the driver to stop but he refused and ended up leading authorities on a 10-mile long chase that ended in northeast Houston on Breland Street near Sandra Street when the driver lost control and crashed into a tree, officers said.

According to police:

In December 2016, Harris was charged with assault on a public servant in Hidalgo County.
In March 2017, Harris pleaded guilty and got six years of probation.
In October 2017, Harris was charged with capital murder.
In November 2017, his probation was revoked.
In April 2019, Harris was sentenced to two years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for assault on a peace officer. He had already served 589 days in jail.
In May 2019, he was sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
In June 2019, he was released from mandatory supervision.
