Texas teen brothers and their friend are arrested 'for beating stepdad to death with BRASS KNUCKLES after he sexually abused their half-sister, nine'
2022-01-27
  • Siblings Christian Trevino and Alejandro Trevino, both 18, were arrested in Pharr, Texas, on Saturday

  • The boys along with their friend Juan Eduardo Melendez, 18, were taken into custody for last Thursday's murder of their stepfather, Gabriel Quintanilla

  • The Trevino brothers approached Quintanilla after their nine-year-old half-sister came forward and said her 42-year-old father had sexually assaulted her

  • Quintanilla was beaten on three different occasions and was thrown into the back of a pickup truck before they abandoned his body in a McAllen field

  • Christian Trevino and Melendez were charged with capital murder
Pharr police chief Andy Harvey revealed during a press conference Tuesday that Quintanilla had a 2019 arrest warrant for allegedly sexually abusing another minor.

Quintanilla had sexually assaulted the girl between 2014 and 2016.

'He was being elusive, obviously hiding from us,' Harvey said.

#7  Gonna be tough getting a jury on this on.
Plus, if they do time, everybody in the prison will treat them like heroes. Took Out The Trash!
I predict the DA offering some preposterous plea deal, to avoid jury nullification. (I does happen in Texas. "Yeah he's guilty, but we don't think he did anything wrong. Not Guilty.)

#6  If they were black, they'd be out on no bail already and probably not even charged.

#2  An arrest is appropriate, but if the facts stand as reported, the lads performed a public service and a jury might well give them the Gary Plauche sentence (seven-year suspended sentence with five years' probation and 300 hours of community service for the shooting and received no prison time - Louisiana jury, 1984, Baton Rouge airport shooting.)
