An Amber Alert was issued, leading to a police pursuit as he fled with his young daughter, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office said.

Police eventually deflated Alexander’s tires and forced him into a combative standoff in a parking lot.

Chilling audio of Alexander reveals the father, who was armed, threatening to kill his daughter and himself, screaming “I will shoot us both, stand back!”

Little Oaklynn can be heard begging in the background, repeatedly telling her father, “Please don’t.”

With a gun in his hand, Alexander also threatened the girl’s mother, telling her, “I wanna talk to her mother. If you’re listening, Ashley, you should’ve called”.

The audio then muffles before Oaklynn asks her father if they are “both going to heaven”.

“How do you know we’re going to heaven?” she asks and her father replies, “We’ll both go?”

Oaklynn presses her father further, asking, “I am going to heaven?” As she realises what that means she quickly yells, “No!”

“I don’t want to go to heaven today,” Oaklynn can be heard pleading. Her father then tells her, “I didn’t want it to happen either, I just wanted to talk to your mother.”

One of the dispatchers interrupts, telling Alexander, “I know you didn’t want to hurt [your daughter] and you didn’t want it to be like this.”

“Let’s not do anything we can’t undo,” the dispatcher tells Alexander.

Oaklynn can be heard asking again and again if she’s “going to heaven today” in the background, at one point crying out “I don’t want to!”

Another dispatcher tries to talk Alexander down, telling him, “Just keep talking to her if you don’t want her to be scared.”

“Let’s not do anything that is going to make it even more unfair to her, ‘cause you love her, I know you do,” the operator says.

At some point during the call, police opened fire and killed Charles Alexander.

Oaklynn was safely returned to her family after watching officers kill her father.

A family friend set up a GoFundMe to go toward “caring for Oaklynn during her mother’s time off from work, mental health expenses and any additional costs for her future.”

Nearly $US8000 had been raised for the girl’s family as of Sunday.
