Garland Police News Release:
Murder charges to be filed against 12- and 13-year-old
Garland Police responded to the report of a man being shot in the 600-block of Rilla Drive around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. When they arrived they found 48-year-old Alan Nevil in his next door neighbor's front yard suffering from a gun shot wound. He was able to tell officers who had shot him before being transported to Baylor Hospital of Dallas where he underwent surgery. He is listed in stable condition today.
Officers then entered Nevil’s home where they found his wife, 46-year-old Darlene Nevil, dead. It appeared to officers she had also been shot.
Police followed the suspect information they received from Mr. Nevil. They located and took into custody a 12-year-old female and 13-year-old male several blocks away without incident. Police also recovered a hand gun believed to be the weapon used to shoot Mr. and Mrs. Nevil.
Police detectives interviewed the two and are now in the process of filing Murder and Aggravated Assault Deadly Weapon against both the 12-year-old female and 13-year-old male. The two have been transported to the Dallas County Juvenile Detention Center where they remain in custody on those charges.
