2 boys are exposed to murder accusations

Austin, Texas (Keye)-the police say that a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy are exposed to allegations of capital after a man was shot while trying to win back his stolen car in Texas.

The police announced the arrest of two young people aged 12 and 13 in connection with the murder of 20-year-old Anthony Salas on Monday, who was exceeded on May 3, while trying to regain his family's stolen car in Southeast Austin. The suspects are charged with terrorist threat to the capital murder.

The fatal shootout occurred only one block of Martin Wells' Haus and he says that the neighborhood had beaten up.

“It's terrible, the whole situation,” said Wells. “My mind really can't go there. These young children can do something like that, what causes it?”

The police say that Salas had been shot at least once while facing the suspects because of the stolen car. His family was there when he was killed.

“Your life is more worth the property,” said Detective Michael Decker from Austin's police. “Very traumatic for you [the family]. “”

Last week, the police asked the public to identify people of interest in surveillance videos that they believed in the break -in of cars in South and East. The police confirmed that the people seen in the video are the young people who were arrested.

Araceli Valencia, who also lives in the area, says that these arrests are not the closure that everyone wanted.

“We needed an accountability and I had hoped that someone would be caught. But I just never expected it and never hoped that someone would be so young,” she said.

The police say that it is extremely important to cope with these situations and take precautions in order to call up ownership.
