PHARR, Texas (TND) Two brothers in Texas are reportedly now in jail after they beat their stepfather to death.

According to reports in the area, the teenage brothers killed the stepfather for allegedly sexually abusing their 9-year-old sister.

Alejandro and Christian Trevino, 18, are both accused of severely beating Gabriel Quintanilla, 42, and leaving him to die in a southern Texas field, according to KGBT News.

Quintanilla was reportedly found by a farmer and had apparent severe blunt force trauma to his head.

A friend of the Trevino brothers, Juan Eduardo Melendez, 18, was also reportedly involved in the fatal beating and has has also been charged.

Police say a minor, later identified as a 9-year-old girl, made an outcry about being inappropriately touched by Quintanilla in an RV park, according to KRGV News.

When brothers (Alejandro) and Christian Trevino found out, they became enraged and confronted Gabriel Quintanilla at the residence. A physical fight ensued between the three and the victim Quintanilla left the location on foot, KRGV News reports Pharr Police Department saying in a news release.

The trio reportedly chased Quintanilla down and again assaulted him, leaving only to fetch a truck and come back, again beating Quintanilla and placing him in the back of the retrieved truck. KRGV News says Quintanilla was beaten with brass knuckles and put into the bed of the truck, then later dumped in the field.

Quintanilla is the stepfather of both Christian and Alejandro, KGBT News says, and also had a warrant for "continuous sexual abuse of a child", police reportedly told MyRGV News.

So he was already wanted for it!?
Should have turned his ass over to the police. They don't take kindly to that over there either.

If the events happened as described, it's murder.

Christian Trevino faces charges of murder, aggravated assault and engaging in organized criminal activity.

Hm.

There's a chance that the sister made a false accusation.
But none the less, I'd be enraged too if I was one of the brothers.

Nope, they need to go to jail.

Beat the shit out of the guy? Sure. Kick em in the balls for me.

Chasing him down again after getting a truck, beating him further, tossing them in the back and taking them somewhere else to finish the job? Nope. That little girl will not have any brothers to protect her anymore.

Do they have any priors?

The dude sexually abused their 9 year old sister. While I wouldn't personally go this route, as a big brother myself to a minor sister, I can understand their anger.

Nobody should cry for his suffering or death if he was actually guilty, but that in no way should correlate to any major leniency for the murderers.

Fair,next. Prick got what he deserved and he already had a warrant out for doing the same shit.

The brothers shouldn't see any jail time, can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if anyone ever touched any of my neices or nephews.

And your logic is devoid of nuance.

Killing a known sex predator who raped your little sister is a lot different from taking an innocent life.

If they found him in the act, you could argue that killing him in that situation is defensible, even if it was over the top. If they're just going to get revenge for that act after the fact, it's just murder no matter how much he morally deserved it. They can maybe argue for the lightest murder sentence in lieu of a harsher sentence considering why they killed him, but it's murder nonetheless in those circumstances. That shouldn't be encouraged, especially with that other recent vigilante case that was flipped on its head.

I don't think vigilante justice should be encouraged, per se, but I do think there should be quite a bit of leniency for these boys given the circumstances.

Of course, this also extends from a failure of our justice system. If people cannot find justice through the law, they're going to take matters into their own hands.

Don't forget that all you know about this case is that one article.

What specific failure of the justice system occurred in this instance?

Wasn't there a case of a father killing a guy who allegedly raped their daughter and it turned out to be a lie or something and this board embarrassed itself by defending the father? Not saying this is a lie but vigilante justice is not the way. The stepfather deserves life in prison but not vigilante justice.

It's a little more than the allegations of a child but they shouldn't have done it regardless.

Whats the need of a what if scenario. Going by what information we have and his past rexords, it does seem like a fair next case. They did this world a favor by removing a sexual predator whos destroyed the lives of lil girls. Fuck him.

Yeah, a lot of the people who were all about dat vigilantism in the first topic were noticeably quiet about the follow-up.

I wonder how many of those same people are in this very topic...

I'm not going to shed a tear here, nor will I say that based on the evidence as presented in this story that they were wrong or that I would have behaved differently. There should be some consequences for them though. It would have been best to beat the fuck out of him and take him to the cops.

If the scenario had been something along the lines of he was arrested and tried and got off somehow, I could see justification for just finishing him off yourself. When the system fails the people sometimes the people have to get justice themselves, but this isn't even that.

I think we all understand their anger, and if they found him raping their brother, and then killed him, they might have had a argument for self defense, but you cannot beat someone to death merely because you suspect them of doing something heinous.
