- 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. |
