US Attorneys in the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro had an emotional conversation with the parents of 21-year-old Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a Capitol Hill intern who shot and killed in Washington, D.C. in June.
“Judge Pirro, I want to thank you for your heart. If I had seen you, I would like to give you a big hug.”
Piro stressed that her struggle for justice for her son is not over yet.
“My heart is telling you,” Pirro said. “The battle is not over yet. We have a prosecution and we have been in touch for a long time to make you just. We will provide you with justice. ”
Piro stressed that the heartbreaking losses of Tamara and Robert reflect the city’s crime problems.
“These are innocent families, as these loose laws allow these guns to be torn apart by guns in DC,” Piroro said.
Authorities say two 17-year-old suspects have been arrested and charged with Tarpinian-Jachym’s death, both of whom have a “violent history.” Investigators are looking for the third suspect who remains the entire suspect.

“We are looking for him now,” Piro said. “He won’t escape. We will detain him. We have no doubts.”
Even if they were teenagers, Pirro confirmed that these teenagers will be charged First-degree murder.
Eric’s mother Tamara describes the pain of discovering what happened to her son.
“It’s really shocking, and we’ve heard about what happened to Eric at your press conference for the first time.”
Pirro noted that Eric was shot four times, although the investigation found 79 rounds scattered on the scene.
Tamara expressed her gratitude to law enforcement, including detectives, victim advocates and Pirro, who “done the job.” She said she hopes other homicide victims can see justice, too.
Tamara sighed, “Nothing is fun in this club.” “My heart is doing everything I can to all families who have lost their children.”

She said the grieving mother begged for safety to go beyond politics, stressing the importance of crime prevention and “make our entire city safer.” “What is worth our material things? Our families, if people are not safe in the greatest country in the world, it is not worth it.”
“Please, this is not political,” she added. “It’s a security issue. For everyone, no matter where you live or where you visit, everyone can. So, let’s get together.”

In a poignant moment, Eric’s parents recalled their personal logos associated with their late son while watching Pirro’s interview with “Jesse Waters Prime Time.”
“Yesterday, Judge Jenny, you wore an orange dress on TV.” “And I showed it to Bob. I left, look, the judge was wearing an orange dress, what did you say, Bob?”
“Something happens,” Robert said. “That’s Eric’s favorite color.”
The next morning, the so-called son killer was detained.
“Eric looked down,” Tamara reflected. “That’s a sign.”
