Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was shot in the head in 2022 while he slept at an RV park in Nixon, Texas, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of San Antonio, investigators said. He had just moved in a few days before.
The boy’s possible connection to the case was uncovered after sheriff’s deputies were contacted on April 12 of this year about a student who threatened to assault and kill another student on a school bus. They learned the boy had made previous statements that he had killed someone two years ago.
The boy was taken to a child advocacy center, where he described for interviewers details of Rasberry’s death “consistent with first-hand knowledge” of the crime, investigators said.
I almost killed my mom when I was 6-7 years old, I believe it was because I was getting yelled at a lot and couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and almost killed her by stabbing her while she was sleeping. As I was about to do it, I realized the consequences if I did, so I put the knife away and went back to bed. I couldn’t fathom what I had almost done when I got older. I’ve kept that a secret for my entire life, and always will. I’m not insane, I think you just don’t understand reality much yet at a young age.
Now imagine if you had access to a loaded firearm.
