One of the suspects arrested in a brutal killing in California admitted that he did it.
He said he didn’t plan “to do this at all” but that he “snapped.”
“I feel like [expletive],” he said from the Santa Rita Jail in the town of Dublin, Calif. “I [expletive] hate myself, you know? I wish I could go back in time and that this never happened.”
Gross and Melissa Leonardo, 25, who were living together in Modesto, were arrested on Feb. 13 for the murder of Lizette Cuesta.
“The evidence and Lizette’s statements to us helped make this investigation unfold very rapidly.”
While Gross admitted to his guilt, he declined to say how Cuesta ended up dead.
“I'd rather not get into that,” he said several times during the interview from the jailhouse.
He did say that Cuesta elbowed him in the ribs and that he acted in self-defense, although he wouldn’t elaborate.
“It just happened like this,” he added, snapping his fingers.
He said that he and Cuesta had engaged in sexual acts in a vehicle while Leonardo drove, after all three had smoked marijuana. They all worked at a Carl’s Jr. restaurant in Tracy.
