A California man who stabbed his brother early Friday morning is charged with attempted murder, according to a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
Christian Texiera, 28, of Sacramento, is also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal trespass and recklessly endangering others.<\/p>\n
According to a criminal complaint, at about 4:12 a.m., Throop police and emergency medical personnel were called to 200 Keystone Industrial Park Road for the report of a 29-year-old man who had been stabbed by his brother inside an abandoned guard shack.<\/p>\n
The caller told dispatchers he stabbed his brother because his brother had been aggressive toward him.<\/p>\n
Officers spotted two men, later identified as Nathaniel Diamond and Texiera, coming from the building.\u00a0They told officers a third brother was inside the shack.<\/p>\n
Officers entered the building through a smashed window and found Landon Davis unresponsive with his legs slumped under him.<\/p>\n
Officers removed Davis from the shack and responding medical personnel transported him to Geisinger Community Medical Center.<\/p>\n
The Pennsylvania State Police crime scene unit responded to gather evidence and document the scene.<\/p>\n
Attempting to help<\/p>\n
Diamond told police he was at Davis\u2019 residence in Scranton and decided to call Texiera, who had been struggling with mental health issues.<\/p>\n
When Texiera said he was living in a shack, Diamond and Davis invited him to stay at Davis\u2019 residence.<\/p>\n
Once at the shack, Texiera made some concerning statements and Davis encouraged him to get help.<\/p>\n
Texiera got very upset, grabbed Davis by the neck and began choking him. Davis fell to the ground.<\/p>\n
Texiera then brandished a knife and stabbed Davis in the neck.<\/p>\n
He then pointed the knife at Diamond and told him to use his hoodie to apply pressure to Davis\u2019 neck.<\/p>\n
Texiera was arraigned Friday morning before District Judge Joanne Corbet, who denied bail.<\/p>\n
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on July 20 before Corbett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A California man who stabbed his brother early Friday morning is charged with attempted murder, according to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[202,201,182,139,28,178,180,179,3104,181],"class_list":["post-241123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-throop","tag-top-stories-stt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
