Overview
- Prosecutors say the girl’s mother discovered a video on the 11‑year‑old’s phone on July 15 that appeared to show a sexual assault and prompted a police response.
- According to court records, the following day, July 16, Malik Chandler allegedly posed as his daughter on TikTok to lure Diego Montoya Gonzalez to the Grove City home and shot him twice after saying Gonzalez reached for his pocket.
- Officers found Gonzalez wounded and he was taken to Grant Medical Center; a grand jury later indicted him on two counts of rape, five counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, and one count of obstruction.
- Prosecutors reported investigators recovered multiple videos of child sexual abuse from Gonzalez’s phone, including one clip investigators say involved an infant or toddler, and a judge set combined recognizance and cash bonds with orders barring internet use except for work and contact with the victim’s family.
- Chandler was arrested on felonious assault and related weapon allegations, held on a $100,000 bond, and both men now face active criminal proceedings with arraignments and pretrial matters pending.
