The boy will not face charges because he was 7 at the time of the shooting and Texas law “states that a child does not have criminal culpability until they reach the age of ten years old.”
A 10-year-old Texas boy confessed to fatally shooting a man in his sleep two years ago, according to the Gonzales County Sheriff's Office.
Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was found dead at the Lazy J RV Park on Jan. 18, 2022, in his RV in Nixon, Texas, about 60 miles east of San Antonio, the sheriff's office said in a news release this week. An autopsy determined that Rasberry was shot once in the head, and the manner of death was homicide.
The Gonzales County Sheriff’s Office said it became aware of the child's involvement in the shooting on April 12, when a principal at the Nixon Smiley Independent School District called to report the 10-year-old for allegedly threatening "to assault and kill another student on a bus" the day before.
"A Deputy was dispatched to the school to take a report and complete an investigation," the sheriff's office said in the news release. "When the Deputy arrived he spoke with school officials who informed the Deputy the child made a statement that he shot and killed a man two years ago."
