She ran into a store and was told to leave, MassLive reports.

Eventually a witness called 911.

Police found the woman sitting on a stoop and crying, wrapped in a sweater someone gave her. She was dirty and barefoot, with marks where her legs and wrists were bound.

Her boyfriend, Keyvin “Ghetto” Gil, had threatened her with a gun, which he then used to sexually assault her, MassLive reports. He raped her and told her he would give her a chance to say goodbye to her twin daughters before he killed her. He also burned her with lit cigarettes, took a single bullet out of his gun and spun the chamber to taunt her.

“I’m not dying today. I’m going to see my daughters,” she told herself before escaping.

Gil is being held without bail.
