Garland Convenience Store Shooting: Accused shooter’s father found guilty, sentenced to life.
The father of a teen who fatally shot three other teens in a Garland convenience store was found guilty of capital murder Friday.
Richard Acosta’s attorney Heath Harris told KERA that he’s hopeful that he can appeal if Abel is found and admits that his father did not know his son had a gun or committed the murders.
“We firmly believe that [Abel] is going to tell the authorities that, and if they do, then maybe Richard will get a new trial,” Harris said.
Police in Garland sent out a statement Friday evening thanking District Attorney John Creuzot for prosecuting the case and announcing a $10,000 total reward for info leading to Abel’s whereabouts.
