Texas – A Texas man was arrested and charged with the murder of his parent, 58-year-old Teresa. The 23-year-old defendant, AIexander, is currently being held at the county jail with a bond set at $750,000.
The case came to light when a disturbing photo was shared in a group chat, showing an elderly woman covered in bIood. The sender was later identified as AIexander. Concerned for the woman’s safety, the recipient of the message contacted Texas authorities, who quickly responded to the scene.
When officers arrived at the residence, they were met by a man covered in bIood on his face, neck, chest, hands, and feet. He was holding a BibIe and reportedly told police that ‘it was an exorcsm’ as he stepped outside the house and sat on a chair on the front porch, according to the arrest affidavit.
Upon questioning about the bIood, the man, later identified as 23-year-old AIexander, responded that ‘he was doing wtchcraft to kill his parent.” When asked if there was anyone else inside the house, he replied that ‘there is a dead body in there and it’s his parents,’ the affidavit stated.
Inside the residence, officers discovered a woman in the master bedroom, covered in blood, with visible trauma to her face and upper body. A deceased dog was also found in the room. While searching the home, investigators located a broken jewelry box that had blood and hair lodged inside.
The suspect’s parent was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:53 a.m. The County Medical Examiner’s report later confirmed that she died from blunt force trauma to the head.
According to the arrest affidavit, the defendant had sent a photo of the crime scene to several of his friends. One of the friends, upon opening the image, immediately warned others not to view it. Several friends arrived at the scene, and one of them showed the officers the photo, the affidavit states.
The image allegedly depicted a deceased person and a dead pet. Officers observed bIood on the walls, carpet, and the body of the individual in the photograph.
