Newly obtained police documents reveal that the victims (Chaparro’s ex-boyfriend and his mother) told investigators the duo, with other suspects, arrived at their home armed with baseballs and a tire iron, first demanding the ex-boyfriend’s mother to surrender her son.<\/p>\n

Then, the victims said that when Chaparro’s ex-boyfriend ran away, heading to a home nearby where he had been staying, the suspects chased after him. <\/p>\n

The victims told investigators the suspects swung their bats at them, demanding money from the ex-boyfriend; money the ex-boyfriend said he didn’t have.<\/p>\n

The victim then described that they managed to push the suspects out of the home and locked themselves in, protecting the children who were inside the house. <\/p>\n

However, according to the victim, the suspects battered the front door– smashing the glass; a front door the homeowner said is worth $700.<\/p>\n

As a result of the incident, the ex-boyfriend was taken to the hospital with a cut on his hand and an injury on his forehead. <\/p>\n

Deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office managed to find the suspects after one of the victims received a call, saying that someone had spotted one of the vehicles the suspects arrived in at an apartment complex. <\/p>\n

According to the police documents, when deputies were heading towards the apartment complex to continue their investigation, they spotted one of the suspects’ cars.<\/p>\n

When they pulled over the car, they found suspect Reyes behind the wheel. <\/p>\n

Deputies asked him where Chaparro was and he said she was at home with her children. <\/p>\n

At the same time, the property manager spoke with deputies and told them that the second vehicle authorities were looking for was parked illegally at the back of the complex. <\/p>\n

Deputies inspected the vehicle and saw that it matched the description of the suspect’s car.<\/p>\n

As a result, the deputies then used their patrol speakers to call Chaparro to come out of her apartment. <\/p>\n

According to the police documents, Chaparro then surrendered, walking out of the apartment with a juvenile suspect and two of her children. <\/p>\n

The juvenile suspect was released as his involvement is still under investigation. <\/p>\n

Deputies remained on the scene with the two children until the responsible parties showed up. <\/p>\n
