EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – Deputies said Friday that they arrested an 18-year-old in connection with an attempted homicide in unincorporated El Paso County.
According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPCSO), deputies received a 911 call at 4 a.m. on Jan. 18 regarding a suspect making threats with a weapon in the 9800 block of Wando Drive.
Deputies responded and were met by a witness who they say escaped the home by climbing out an upstairs window after having been chased by the suspect.
According to EPCSO, the witness told deputies that the suspect was actively “stabbing people” inside the home.
Deputies entered the home, found the suspect, and took him into custody without incident.
EPCSO said the suspected weapon was a pair of kitchen shears, and although no victims suffered stab injuries, there was evidence the suspect had stabbed and damaged parts of the home with the shears.
Isaac Emilio Molina Jr., 18, was taken to the El Paso County Jail and charged with attempted homicide, felony menacing, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and child abuse.
He is being held on a $15,000 bond.
