What the police report says
A police report states that Gomez took out his frustrations on his parents because “they called him a bum, somehow took away his cell phone, and since (he) couldn't use the device to give a school presentation, he designed the their deaths.”
Gomes said that after murdering his father and sister, he had lunch next to their bodies and then went to a local gym. He later returned home, greeted his mother in the garage, before walking with her into the kitchen and shooting her in the back, sending her crashing into his father.
Gomes went to the gym again on Saturday and when he returned home he stabbed his mother in the back. He then went to a neighborhood bakery and went about his day. Gomes called the Military Police on Sunday night after noticing a large presence of flies around the bodies as they began to decompose.
