Mexico Ex-Military Shot in the Head by Boy Who Lied, Told a Different Story to Evade Arrest

A 13-year-old boy in Mexico shot and killed his stepfather, an ex-military, on Monday but told a different story to authorities to evade arrest.

According to El Universal, Rafael "B" was a former sergeant from the Mexican army. The victim's stepson, with the initials OMJR, told the authorities that two men knocked on the door of their home in the Anahuac neighborhood in Mexico City at around 6:50 a.m.

The boy said Rafael opened the door and looked into the street, where one of the men suddenly shot him in the head before they fled on foot, Informador reported.

After the boy screamed for help, neighbors reportedly tried to help the victim. However, the ex-military was declared dead by paramedics who arrived at the scene.

Boy in Mexico Lies About Killing His Ex-Military Stepfather

Officers assigned to the case investigated the surveillance cameras located a few meters from the ex-military man's home to find the killers.

However, officials saw a scenario different from the story given by the victim's stepson. El Universal reported that the surveillance footage showed that Rafael was walking with his stepson behind him.

The boy was then seen manipulating the front of his pants as if he were trying to remove an object. After a few minutes, a gunshot was heard, and the boy started to scream for help, then ran towards the house, and then left again.

Authorities said there was no other person seen passing by, prompting them to question the boy about what happened. The minor reportedly admitted that he was the one who shot his stepfather. He said he killed the ex-military because her was constantly mistreating him.

Officers revealed that the boy used a Smith & Wesson .38 caliber in killing his stepfather. The said firearm was provided to him by a mechanic named Daniel. However, the boy did not provide any additional details regarding the provider of the gun.

A mother in Mexico's Sinaloa state was also victimized by her son after he locked her up and let the gas flow in her home.

According to Informador, Juan Carlos "N," 42, was arrested on Wednesday by police officers from the El Castillo town in Sinaloa for locking up his mother and opening the gas taps to cause her acute intoxication.

The mother has detected a strong smell of gas inside her home that made her think about a possible gas leak, but to her surprise, she found out that she had been locked inside her house.

The mother then told responding police officers that her son tried to intoxicate her by opening the gas keys. The son was charged with attempted femicide after he was arrested.
