Police in New Mexico released body camera footage showing the arrest of a 16-year-old for allegedly killing his family (Valencia County Sheriff’s Office).

“I wanted to call you, tell you that I killed my parents,” a 911 caller said in the early hours of Dec. 14.

New Mexico State Police say that is Diego Leyva, 16. Bodycam footage shows Valencia County sheriff’s deputies arriving at the home on Camino Escondido in the city of Balen, and arresting him.

“When deputies arrived, Diego walked out of the residence with his hands in the air and was extremely intoxicated,” officers wrote. “He was taken into custody without incident.”

State police said their sheriff’s office counterparts found four people dead inside the home: Leonardo Leyva, 42, Adriana Bencomo, 35, Adrian Leyva, 17, and Alexander Leyva, 14. Each was dead from suspected gunshot wounds, officers said. Investigators claimed to find a handgun on the kitchen table.
