GARLAND, Texas (AP) — Dallas-area police have charged a 14-year-old with capital murder in a triple killing at a gas station and are warning that the boy is at large, armed and dangerous.

Police in Garland are seeking Abel Elias Acosta and said Wednesday that they have evidence showing he was the gunman who left three teens dead and wounded a fourth at the suburban gas station’s convenience store Sunday.

Acosta is the son of Richard Acosta, 33, who turned himself into police Monday and is also charged with capital murder for allegedly acting as a get-away driver in the shooting, police said in a statement. A juvenile court has issued an order to take the younger Acosta into custody, police said, and authorized them to publicly release his name.

Prosecutors will determine whether the teen is charged as a minor or an adult, said Lt. Pedro Barineau.

14. his dad was the getaway driver

I mean, WTF.

4. This won't end well.

The kid will probably take his own life and any one else’s he has the opportunity to kill along the way.

[Progressive Jones]

12. If he doesn't hurt anyone else, so be it. He's already defective as fuck. nt

5. Why would a father drive his son somewhere to commit murder?

...Why?..How could anyone do that?..I haven't got a clue..

7. Seems these murdering kids have

Complicit parents.

WTF is wrong with some parents? Some people should never have kids.
Wish all parents had to go to parenting classes for a month pass them all to get a liscence to have a kid.
Psychopaths,
authoritarians and narcissist people should be barred for life because of what they are. Keep them away from having kids or pets.

Anyone who beats thier spouse,no liscence for you bucko.

8. At this point we can only guess.

One thing I have learned is, some people just don't think like we do. The linked article says investigators believe the shooting was a retaliatory attack, and to me that suggests gang activity but I don't know. More will come out about this soon.

11. I'm willing to wager that they are both members of the same street gang.

Some of the gangs in Chicago are multi-generational.

6. Confused. Did this kid do something wrong-he had a gun.

And having a gun gives limitless power, like a superhero, to whoever possesses it to do whatever you wish or need to. It's called the 2nd, and a recent court ruling tends to support parents aiding and abetting those limitless actions.
