Teen, 16, is accused of slaughtering his parents and teenage siblings then drunkenly calling 911 to confess A 16-year-old boy has been accused of killing his parents and two siblings in New Mexico after drunkenly calling 911 to confess to the massacre.
Police are still trying to find a motive for the killings on Saturday morning in Belen (pictured: Leonardo Leyva and Adriana Bencomo).
They added that Leyva was taken into custody 'without incident' and was checked into a local hospital 'for detox' before being booked into a juvenile detention center in Albuquerque, some 30 miles north of Belen.
Diego Leyva was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and booked as an adult after he allegedly shot his family members before turning himself on Saturday.
Police are carrying out interviews to try to understand a motive for the tragic events, and intend to take the case to the district attorney's office for prosecution after wrapping up their investigation.
