4 Texas Teens Lured Former Classmate, Then Allegedly Kidnapped and Tortured Him at Gunpoint, Police Say

A horrifying case from Del Valle, Texas, has emerged where four 17-year-old boys are accused of kidnapping and beating a former classmate at gunpoint. According to the arrest affidavit, the four teens accused the victim over a dispute involving a girl, who is also one of the suspects’ girlfriends.

According to WCJB, the suspects have been identified as Jose Rojas-Alvarado, Oscar Armando Santiago-Martinez, Angel Lemus-Perez, and Carlos Roberto Oliva-Villeda. They are charged with a first-degree felony for aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon. Court reports also claim that Lemus-Perez has allegedly been involved in other criminal activities.

It has been reported that one of the suspects did not like the victim speaking to his girlfriend. Moreover, some of the suspects, according to the victim, allegedly confirmed that the attack was planned.

The incident happened on February 19, according to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office. That day, the victim left with three suspects and went to a gas station across the road. From there, they took the victim to a home on Farm to Market Road 969, where the fourth suspect was waiting for them.

Upon arrival, things escalated quickly. According to the affidavit, the victim said one of the suspects held him at gunpoint, while the other three tied his hands and feet with duct tape and covered his mouth. They hit him with aluminum bats and a walking cane, while the four boys took turns holding him at gunpoint.

Additionally, the victim was forced to drink alcohol, burned, and threatened with being killed if he tried to report the incident to police. They also threatened to hurt his family if he went to police. Later, they took him to a different location, where he was left alone. He then went to a bus stop and reported the incident.

The victim suffered serious injuries, including bruises and tissue injuries on his back, legs, and chest. He was also hit multiple times with a blunt instrument, causing severe injuries.

The incident has caused a stir among students at Del Valle High School in Texas. J’Kaideon Mitchell, a fellow student, said he was shocked by the incident. Meanwhile, another student called the entire episode “insane.”

“I thought it was insane, especially at our school. It’s just crazy how strong that person would have to be to report it and just stay alive, honestly,” another student, Michelle, said. She further added that everyone at the school is “spooked” after the incident.

Meanwhile, officials with the Del Valle Independent School District said that the suspects are not currently enrolled in the school. As of now, the case remains under investigation.
