Crime Alert hourly update, Breaking crime news Now. I'm Jennifer Gould.
The sickening horror of a double homicide in New Mexico
took a shocking, depraved turn when the armed suspect, Alexis Hernandez,
delivered a chilling confession to cops a cockroach gave him
the order to kill. Hernandez, sporting a Marine Corps saber

(00:24):
strap to his hip and a glock in his hand,
is facing two counts of first degree murder after allegedly
executing two men inside an Albuquerque home, claiming the insect
delivered a terrifying quote unquote encryptied message instructing him to
carry out the murders. The blood shed erupted just after

(00:47):
ten twenty seven pm when Bernolillo County Sheriff's Office deputies
roared to the scene. Hernandez, twenty five, met them at
the door, still armed, declaring chillingly that he quote had
to do what he had to do. Inside the home,
investigators found a scene of carnage. The property owner was

(01:07):
found dead with gunshot wounds to the head, while a
second victim was found in an attached apartment with gun
shot and possible stab wounds. According to the arrest warrant affidavit,
the killer's motive was rooted in a profound, escalating psychosis.
Hernandez was allegedly convinced the property owner was a relentless stalker,

(01:33):
placing cameras in the lights and transmitting quote creepy voices
coming from the vents end quote. The ultimate motive pure
savage delusion. Hernandez weaponized the victim's known hatred of cockroaches,
claiming the bug was now delivering the final, brutal and
bloody command to execute. Hernandez, who had purchased a glock

(01:58):
handgun for quote unquote protection, detailed the execution with shocking detachment.
After the two men allegedly took him to the back
room of the house, he claimed he was quote afraid
for his life end quote, then allegedly shot the property
owner in the head, followed by the other man in
the kitchen in a cold blooded act of finality. The

(02:20):
warrant alleges Hernandez then left the home, ran to his
Honda Pilot to reload his gun, and then returned to
shoot both victims again, adding to the depravity. Three adults
and two young kids were also inside the house. And
witnessed the entire thing. The Bernolello County Sheriff's homicide detectives

(02:41):
are now ripping through evidence and interviewing witnesses, promising to
release more grim details once next of kin have been notified.
Hernandez was immediately booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center facing
two counts of murder in the first degree, with more
charges possible as the investigation continues. Given his claims of

(03:06):
encrypted messages in a bug, the defense may file for
a mandatory mental competency evaluation to determine if he spit
to stand trial. In the meantime, Hernandez remains held without bond.
More crime and Justice news After this, the sweltering summer

(03:29):
heat of Phoenix, Arizona became a furnace of abuse when
a dead beat dad allegedly chose depravity over decency. Asensio Largo,
thirty eight, has been slapped with a shockingly meager four
month jail sentence after he left his four terrified children,
ages two, three, four, and seven locked inside a blistering

(03:54):
hot car so he could duck into an adult shop
for a movie. Listen to the jail judge what.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
The police are alleging could have resulted in an in
you know, the kind of story that gets picked up
on international news wires. Man goes into Porno's store, leaving
his four children to die in their car.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
The appalling incident unfolded in July on an afternoon where
outside temperatures hit one hundred and six degrees. Inside the
sealed vehicle, police responding to frantic nine to one one
calls found the windows rolled up and the engine off.
The temperature gauge inside the children's prison had soared to

(04:35):
a mind numbing one hundred and twenty five degrees. Cops
had found the youngsters in the sizzling car after multiple
nine to one one callers reported seeing the kids locked
inside with the windows rolled up for almost an hour.
Bodycam footage captured the harrowing rescue as officers desperately pulled
the visibly suffering youngsters from that suffocating heat.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Are you Hi, Where's Mom?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Or Dad? The toddlers were doused in sweat, their skin
showing discoloration, and their internal body temperatures were dangerously close
to one hundred degrees fahrenheit, officials say. Largo, meanwhile, was
finally tracked down by police emerging from one of the
adult shop's theater rooms. Cops instantly noted he reeked of alcohol,

(05:27):
and in a pathetic attempt to abate accountability, he initially
claimed the car was not even his. The father, who
has a history that includes a prior extreme dui, was
hit with eight total felony charges, four counts of child abuse,
and four counts of endangerment. Despite everything, though, the Arizona
dad managed to dodge a lengthy prison term. The judge

(05:51):
sentenced him again to just four months behind bars, followed
by ten years of probation. The kids are now under
the care of their mom and finally talk about a
trigger warning. An Indiana woman just took the neighborhood noise
war to a whole new lethal level. Nicole Gilstrap, forty two,

(06:13):
apparently fed up with the racket from kids playing nearby,
so she decided to silence the field by allegedly firing
her nine millimeter handgun. Gilstrap told deputies she was simply
tired of all the noise and just wanted them to stop.
It was basically her way of enforcing quiet time. Her
attempt at a bulletproof defense, though claiming she she couldn't

(06:34):
see the children from behind her shed quickly misfired. The
children's mom called police after Gilstrap allegedly threatened to shoot
the entire family. Cops found the weapon inside her camper.
Gilstrap is now staring down felony charges for intimidation with
the deadly weapon and criminal recklessness. Looks like her violent

(06:55):
bid who muzzled the kids has instead landed her in
legal crosshairs. For the latest, Prime and Justice News followed
