Three teenagers, and their mother, are accused in the murder and cover-up of a Navajo student in New Mexico.
Garrett Joe, 22, was found early Friday morning at a skate park in Socorro. He had been stabbed four times and beaten.
Joe, a student at New Mexico Tech, died of his injuries. Police took an 19-year-old male, his twin 18-year-old brothers and their 50-year-old mother in connection with the incident.
According to authorities, the teens beat up Joe and told their mother about it. The mother allegedly tried to hide evidence of the crime.
