TOMBALL, TX – Police say 21-year-old Pedro Sanchez was shot dead by a neighbor after entering the home of 17-year-old Tyler Wade and stabbing the teen to death.
On Monday, Sanchez entered Wade’s home at around 4.pm. wearing latex gloves and carrying a baseball bat. The only people home at the time were Wade, who was upstairs taking a shower, and Wade’s 12-year-old sister.
Sanchez made his way to the upstairs bedroom where Wade was taking a shower, then used a knife to repeatedly stab the teen. Wade’s sister ran out of the house to alert a neighbor, an off-duty firefighter, who retrieved a gun before running next door.
The neighbor went upstairs and encountered a bloody Sanchez and ordered him to drop the knife he was holding. When Sanchez refused to comply and lunged at him, the neighbor dropped his ass with one shot.
The neighbor began administrating first aid to Wade, but there was nothing he could do. Wade and Sanchez were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are still working on a motive, but Sanchez’ father told reporters that the Wade and Sanchez knew each other and had gotten into a fight a few hours before they both wound up dead.
“That other kid came over and attacked him first,” he said. “That is a fact and that’s not being reported on the news. OK, I want everybody to know that. It started with the other kid.”
Mr. Sanchez went on to complain that the news is making Wade out to be a great kid and leaving out the fact that he had a good kid too, despite his 2012 conviction for burglary.
“He was in college, he was getting ready to join the military,” he said. “He had his life together.”
But that’s the rub, isn’t it? If you end up stabbing a naked teen to death while he’s scrubbing his ass, it kind of overshadows any of the good things you may have done previously.
