10 year old Texas boy who admitted to killing a man while the man was asleep 2 years ago cannot be charged.
On April 12th, Gonzales County Sheriff's department was called about a student at Nixon Smiley Independent School district. The principal told the deputies a 10-year-old boy had threatened to kill a student on the school bus.
When the deputy arrived he got a lot more than he bargained for. School officials informed him that the student had confessed to killing a man 2 years prior.
As the authorities spoke with the child, the full shocking story emerged. The boy said he was visiting his grandfather on January 16, 2022 when he took a 9mm pistol from his grandfather's glove box. He then entered 32-year-old Brandon Rasberry's RV while he was sleeping. The boy did not know Brandon Rasberry or ever met him. The boy then shot and killed the unsuspecting victim just to do it. Rasberry was found deceased on January 18th and the case has stood as an unsolved homicide until the boy's confession.
In a remarkable turn of events the child cannot be tried for this murder under Texas law. In Texas you must be 10-years-old to be tried for any crime.
The child was placed on 72 hour emergency detention and taken to a psychiatric hospital in San Antonio. He is being charged with making a terroristic threat and is being held in Gonzales County awaiting his first court apperance.
