What Happened That Led to the Murder 

The victim was walking along a service road when he was forcibly taken along with two related juveniles. The suspects then shot and killed the victim and released the two juveniles.  

Through investigations law enforcement found that the victim was believed to be holding stolen money from other group members and the suspects were demanding payment, which Petit was unable to provide. 

One of the suspects was found in New Mexico, two others were apprehended in Colorado. A fourth suspect in this case Jhonny Jesus Martinez Serrano is still at large.  

All suspects in this case are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
