Could a routine child custody exchange escalate into a horrifying ambush? In San Antonio, Texas, Oscar Javier Barbosa reportedly became the victim of a brutal attack, allegedly orchestrated by his ex-girlfriend and mother of his two children, Melanie Sierra Gomez. According to court affidavits, Gomez is accused of luring Barbosa out of a YMCA where he was picking up their kids, only for her other ex-boyfriend, Abel Ali Rivas, to be waiting. Barbosa, while on the phone with his current girlfriend, was confronted by Gomez and Rivas, with his ex-girlfriend allegedly screaming insults and accusing him of impregnating his new partner. The situation quickly turned violent as Gomez reportedly instructed Rivas to “do what you are going to do,” leading to Barbosa being repeatedly stabbed in the abdomen and arms. In a shocking twist, Gomez is also accused of pinning Barbosa against a car to prevent his escape during the assault. Rivas then allegedly fled in Barbosa’s running car, while Gomez lingered to hurl more insults before leaving. Both Gomez and Rivas have since been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, with Gomez released on bond and Rivas still in custody.
