In a chilling revelation, a 10-year-old boy from Texas has confessed to a disturbing crime, shedding light on a previously unsolved murder.
The confession unraveled a perplexing mystery that had haunted investigators for years. Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, aged 32, was discovered lifeless in an RV park located in Nixon, Texas. The unexpected twist in the case came when the young boy, then just shy of 8 years old, disclosed during an interview at a child advocacy center that he was responsible for Rasberry’s death.
According to his account, the boy retrieved a 9 mm pistol from his grandfather’s truck, entered Rasberry’s RV, and fatally shot him while he slept, before returning the weapon. The motive behind the killing remains elusive, as the boy had no prior connection to Rasberry and offered no explanation for his actions.
The revelation came to light as investigators delved into a separate incident involving the child. During their inquiry into threats made by the boy to assault and kill another student, they unearthed statements made by him about committing a murder two years prior.
Further investigation led authorities to trace the pistol used in the crime to a pawn shop, with shell casings found at the crime scene matching the weapon. However, due to the boy’s age at the time of the offense, he cannot be charged under Texas law.
Currently, the boy is detained in a juvenile facility for a separate incident involving threats made on a school bus. Given concerns about his mental well-being, authorities have initiated psychiatric evaluation and treatment to address underlying issues.
