14-Year-Old Wanted by Police After Allegedly Killing 3 Teens

Abel Acosta, 14, is wanted by police after they say he allegedly killed three teens at a convenience store in Garland, Texas. "Anytime we have somebody at large who has committed a murder in this case killing three people and wounding a fourth, there’s concern so that’s why it’s so important that we get him off the street,” said Lt. Pedro Barineau. Acosta is described as a light-skinned Hispanic male with dark hair, brown eyes and weighing about 125 pounds

it's so awful how his dad didn't even try to stop him. he's only fourteen, he has his whole life ahead of him, and his dad just lets him throw it all away

This is sad man, i swear Crime is just getting younger and younger.

He won't even get enough prison time. Some juveniles deserve to get tried as an adult. He clearly knew wtf he was doing.

[azurestrike]

wow that is just sad. imagine a father encouraging his son to kill them even if they were bullies or not.

[jennyneon]

I blame his parents for this, not taking care of your child can really turn him in bad situations like this. RIP to the 3 teens, never deserved to die.

The dad shouldn't have a bond. He aided the murder of 3 teens, and he didn't even regret that.

Absolutely disgusting, all around. Prayers for the families of the deceased🙏🏿.

Everyone keeps saying "poor kid had his whole life ahead of him" & "it's his dad's fault" but what about the 3 teens he killed?! Like they had a life ahead

[gabrielaelia]

disgusting how his father aided in this.

[Saltyuwu]

This is awful. I can't tell what's worse, the fact that this kid is only 14 or the fact that his dad allowed it.

This the type of dude that gets told “your not about that life” but when he shows he’s bout that life everyone’s surprised ?

In a way, we lost 4 teens, if only that "father" had instead discouraged it and tried to get him help, they could all have been okay. Of course the teen is also responsible, it's just heartbreaking he apparently didn't have a healthy upbringing and in fact got aided in it.

So sad to see that this kid’s father is leading him down this life, let alone so young..

[ruthlessuk]

The worst news a family can hear. My prayers go out to the families.

[sampIes]

at 14 i can admit i wasn’t the best kid, stealing bikes, smoking weed, minor troubles. but to be taking lives? that’s just crazy

[matthewmcginnis]

when someone smiles in that serious of a mugshot you know that kid well hidden. prayers up for the victims and their families

[shawna]

That’s so depressing.. R.I.P to everyone who lost their lives to careless acts such as this. Nothing is that bad you need to take another’s life. People need healing. People need more love in their hearts.

Rest up to the young teens who sadly lost their lives 🕊

[ronalburgos]

In this case I blame the parent. I was 12 years old taking care of my young siblings back in El Salvador. I knew right from wrong. To me anyone that commits this crimes at this age is bound to become a career criminal. Lock them up. RIP 🪦 to the victims. 🥺

Disgusting. Charge the boy for 3 Counts of Second Degree Murder, and Charge the father for 3 Counts of First Degree Murder, 4 Counts of Reckless Endangerment of Minors, 4 Counts of Child Abuse, and 1 Count of the Negligence of a Minor.
