The father of a Garland teenager who is on the run after police said he fatally shot three teens and injured a fourth inside a convenience store in December 2021 is expected to stand trial in Dallas County this week.
Investigators believe Richard Acosta drove his 14-year-old son, Abel Acosta, to commit the murders, and they allege that he knew it was going to happen.The girlfriend of one of the victims spoke with FOX 4 ahead of this week's trial.[REPORTER: "Now you bring him flowers?"]Castillo is talking about 14-year-old Xavier Gonzalez, who she said was her first love.
Investigators believe Abel targeted 17-year-old Rafael Garcia and 16-year-old Ivan Noyala because of a prior incident."We was always there for each other," Castillo added. Wilson, who is not directly tied to this case, said that while Richard’s capital murder charge is not exactly common for someone who is not accused of pulling the trigger, it’s not necessarily out of line.
Richard’s attorney, Heath Harris told FOX 4: "We firmly believe that the credible evidence is going to show that he did not know and is not a party to this horrific shooting that his son committed. This is really just a gang-related shooting…This is his son participating in gang activity that [Richard Acosta] had no idea that he was involved in."Back in December, Garland PD Det. Lucas Shupe told FOX 4 he believes evidence will show Richard knew his son was going to kill the teens.
