A BONE-CHILLING 911 call depicts the moment a teenager drunkenly confessed to killing his whole family, according to police.
An “extremely intoxicated” Diego Leyva was arrested early Saturday after investigators said he gunned down his parents and two brothers at their home in Bellén, New Mexico, about 35 minutes south of Albuquerque.
Leyva, 17, walked out of the home with his hands in the air when deputies with the New Mexico State Police arrived on the scene.
Authorities found a pistol on the kitchen table, where they also found the bodies of Leyva’s parents, Leonardo, 42, and Adriana Bencomo, 35, and his brothers Adrian, 16, and Alexander, 14.
The Valencia County Sheriff’s Office called state police to the scene after receiving a 911 call from Leyva around 3:30 a.m.
In the harrowing 911 call obtained by The U.S. Sun, the teen drunkenly admitted to committing the gruesome murders.
‘I KILLED MY PARENTS’
“Hi, Ms., I just wanted to call you to tell you that I killed my parents. My whole family,” Leyva said, mumbling his words.
“What’s going on there tonight? Everything okay?” the dispatcher asks the teenager.
“I don’t know, I think something took control of me,” Leyva responds.
“Who did you kill your parents, and who else?” the dispatcher presses, to which Leyva replies, “My whole family. My brothers.”
That’s my dad… He’s gargling.
Diego Leyva
When asked by the dispatcher what led him to kill his parents, Leyva again said, “I don’t know something bad possessed me… I don’t know, it just happened.”
At one point, Leyva is heard speaking to someone in the background, prompting the dispatcher to ask, “Who are you talking to?”
“I’m not talking to no one. It’s just my parents are dead,” the teen replies.
The dispatcher then asks him to identify the person overheard in the background, “Who is that in the background?”
“That’s my dad,” Leyva responds as the dispatcher follows up,” What is he doing.”
“He’s gargling,” the suspected shooter said.
“You said he’s gargling in the background? Are you willing to help him right now,” the dispatcher asks, to which Leyva cold-heartedly replies, “No.”
Seconds later, Leyva confesses to the dispatcher that he shot all four of his family members in the head.
The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital for detox and then booked into a juvenile justice center in Albuquerque, state police said.
A former teacher of Leyva was in total shock that one of her ex-students was accused of gruesome killings.
“I would never have thought that something like this would happen and that Diego would be capable of doing something like this,” Vanessa LaGrange told The Guardian.
“Everyone’s in shock.”
Adriana Bencomo, Leyva’s mom, was a veteran volunteer firefighter for the Rio Communities Fire Department.
“Our brothers and sisters at RCFD are shocked and saddened by this loss as expected,” the Valencia County Fire Department said on Facebook.
Leyva was charged with four open counts of first-degree murder, state police said.
