Two killed in alleged home invasion

NEAR EDINBURG — The Hidalgo County Sheriff's office is investigating
an alleged home invasion that led to the shooting deaths of two men
early Saturday morning.
About 2 a.m., the sheriff's office received a call of shots fired and
possibly a man down at the 52000 block of Nicole St., said Sheriff
Lupe Treviño.
"We got there and found two men dead," Treviño said. "One of the men
was inside the house, the other man was outside the house."
Because the investigation was in its early stages, authorities
couldn't disclose many details, but Treviño said the investigation
points to a home invasion conducted by the two deceased men.
"The homeowners or residents in the house engaged the two men in a
firefight, and both men died," Treviño said. "At this stage, we can't
release the identity of the two men."
The case is being investigated as a homicide, Treviño said.
"We are conducting the necessary investigations to determine if this
is a justifiable homicide or if it was an actual homicide," he said.
"The autopsies will be conducted Monday morning. At that time, we
will determine the official cause of death."
He did not say whether anyone was in custody.
A middle-age woman was sweeping the driveway Saturday of the red-
bricked house where the alleged invasion occurred.
"They broke into my house… they took my jewelry… they shot at my
son," the woman said in Spanish as she ran inside the door to avoid
further questions.
The woman and her family had moved to the neighborhood approximately
two weeks ago and mostly kept to themselves and were visited by
acquaintances, according to neighbors.
Roberto Molina, 28, has lived in the neighborhood for about two
years with his family and said he grew uneasy when the family moved in.
"I didn't get the family atmosphere from them," Molina said. "There
were mostly men at the hous,e and the vehicles they parked there
didn't really fit with the neighborhood."
According to Molina, the working class neighborhood is an odd place
to find late model SUVs and luxury vehicles he often saw parked there.
When the shooting occurred, Molina's family didn't associate the
noises with gunshots.
"My wife thought they were fireworks", he said.
The double homicide came as a shock to neighbor Margarito Torres, 71,
who said that the neighborhood where the shooting occurred has been
pretty quiet for years.
"This is a very quiet neighborhood," he said in Spanish as he sat on
a rocking chair next to his wife Apolinar. "They had just moved here,
they didn't feel right and then this happens. This makes you think
and worry."
