It is being reported that in Riverside, California, 33-year-old Jesus Rafael Veliz Sr., his 16-year-old son, Jesus Rafael Veliz Jr. and 17-year-old Aaron Morphy were involved in a stabbing incident that took place in 2009.
Back in March of last year, 45-year-old Charles Sparks was found in his home with 26 separate knife wounds.
Both of the juveniles were tried as adults. Father and son alike have been convicted of first-degree murder and burglary, whereas Morphy was only slapped with a conviction of second-degree murder as his weapon of choice was a rock instead of the knife used by both Veliz Sr. and Veliz Jr.
As the Riverside Press-Enterprise reports, it was a revenge crime; Sparks had previously stopped a fight among another teenager and the young Veliz Jr.
