A 20-year-old North Texas man has been charged in the fatal stabbing of his mother and the kidnapping of her 4-year-old grandson in Mansfield.
The suspect, Raymond Carmona, was taken into custody at the Tarrant County Jail on Saturday, Feb. 14, jail records show.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the homicide victim as 63-year-old Andrea Colgrove. She died from a stab wound to the neck.
Carmona stabbed Colgrove with an unknown weapon on Jan. 31 at her home on Cotton Drive, stole a car and kidnapped the 4-year-old boy, prosecutors allege in court records.
Later that day the suspect was spotted in Ozark, Missouri. After an Amber Alert, patrol officers found the missing 4-year-old in the stolen car with Carmona and rescued the child, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Colgrove was the toddler’s legal guardian, according to police. Carmona’s relationship to the boy was not immediately clear.
Mansfield detectives traveled to Missouri and conducted an interview with Carmona, and he admitted to his involvement in the death of his mother, police said in a news release.
Carmona was arrested in Missouri and later brought back to Texas. He is charged with murder, aggravated kidnapping and theft of property, according to Tarrant County court records. His bond has been set at over $1 million.
