Alleged motive revealed after Santa Clara man charged with murdering 3-year-old boy

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KRON) — Detectives revealed a suspected motive for why a Santa Clara man allegedly shot his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son at point-blank range inside their apartment.

Sergio Colin-Gomez held a gun to the young boy’s forehead while he yelled at his girlfriend, demanding to know if she cheated on him, a Santa Clara Police Department detective wrote in court documents filed Thursday.

The pregnant girlfriend said she tried to stop Gomez before he fatally shot her son on February 20, court documents state.

Gomez, 24, is not the boy’s father, but he lived in the apartment on Poinciana Drive with the boy and the boy’s mother. The mother told police that she is five months pregnant with Gomez’s baby, SCPD Sgt. Det. Frank Hagg wrote in a police report.

Hagg interviewed the 3-year-old boy’s mother following the killing. She told Hagg that on the night of the homicide, she was watching television in Gomez’s room with her son. When Gomez arrived home at 10 p.m., he told the boy to leave his room.

The mother took her son back to her son’s room, where they continued watching television until the boy fell asleep. Around 11:15 p.m., Gomez asked his girlfriend to talk in the kitchen about their relationship.

“As he had done before … Gomez accused (his girlfriend) of infidelity. After speaking in the kitchen about their relationship and deciding to continue together, they went to their bedroom and began to watch a movie,” Hagg wrote.

An hour into watching the movie, Gomez suddenly sat up and starting asking his girlfriend about cheating again. He told the girlfriend to not be “stupid,” and simply answer the question as either “yes” or “no.”

Gomez then left the bedroom, opened their apartment’s front door and continued demanding that his girlfriend answer either “yes” or “no” about cheating on him. The 3-year-old boy was asleep in his bedroom.

The mother feared for her safety, so she went into her son’s bedroom and locked herself inside with him.

Gomez broke down the locked door and paced outside the bedroom. “He soon returned with a firearm, holding it down by his side, and yelling, ‘yes or no!'” Hagg wrote.

The boy was still in bed when his mother’s boyfriend held a gun to his head and shot him, according to court documents.

Gomez dropped the gun and left the apartment before the mother called 911 around 2 a.m., Hagg wrote. She told a 911 emergency dispatcher that her boyfriend shot her “baby,” Hagg wrote. Officers rushed to the apartment complex and found Gomez walking along White Oak Lane.

 

Gomez resisted arrest until he was ultimately taken into custody and booked into jail on one count of murder.

 

The 3-year-old boy’s name and birthday were redacted in court documents, and he is referred to as “Victim Doe.” His mother’s name was also redacted in court documents.

Detectives later re-enacted what happened inside the apartment with the mother.

During the reenactment, “it appeared suspect Gomez was standing approximately one foot away from the bed with the gun pointed at Victim Doe’s head. (The mother) showed me a distance of approximately 6 (inches) between her hands, to show me how close the barrel was to Victim Doe’s head, when suspect Gomez fired the weapon. She tried to reach for the gun, but she was not sure if she was even able to touch it when suspect Gomez fired it,” Hagg wrote.

SCPD officers said they found a gun at the homicide scene.

Every emergency responder who went to the scene was emotionally shaken up by the unthinkable killing, police said. Police Lt. Mike Crescini said, “We all have either children, nephews, nieces, family members that age. When you think about the tragedy that has happened, as you can imagine, their hearts are heavy. Very tough scene for our crime scene people and everyone who was out there.”

Prosecutors charged Gomez with murder. He made his first court appearance in the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice on Thursday. Gomez remains locked up without bail.
