A Garland teenager convicted of killing his girlfriend’s mother and stepfather in 2010 when he was 13 years old is set to go free on parole next month.
Police say the 13-year-old daughter of the mother killed put up the boy to it.
Both teens agreed to peal bargains on capital murder charges for the shooting deaths of Alan Nevil, 48, and Darlene Nevil, 46.
Angry doesn't begin to describe the raw emotion felt by family members outside the courtroom. It was a calculated murder inside the victims' own home where they were ambushed and shot multiple times.
But on Wednesday, the judge granted parole for the teen when he turns 19 next month.
Family members of Alan and Darlene could barely contain their anger as they left the Dallas County juvenile courtroom.
While no cameras were allowed in court, Judge Andrea Martin ordered the now 18-year old who shot and killed the couple to be released on parole when he turns 19 next month. He was 13 at the time he pleaded guilty to the murders in 2011.
A Garland police detective told the court the teen used Alan’s own gun to kill him and his wife in their Garland home in August of 2010.
The detective said while the boy pulled the trigger, it was his 13-year-old girlfriend who plotted the murders because she was angry that she was grounded and not allowed to see him.
