In this article, a sixteen-year-old boy, Adrian Navarro-Canales, is accused of stabbing his mother and brother in Las Vegas, Nevada. Navarro-Canales is suspected of killing his mother and brother with a butcher knife in their apartment. After the murder, Navarro-Canales fled the city to escape because of his actions. After police discovered the bloody bodies in the apartment, they launched a manhunt to find Navarro-Canales that stretched to the U.S.-Mexico border. About a week later, they found him at a shopping center nine miles from the apartment not resisting arrest. Police believe the murders occurred on September 17, after they had celebrated Navarro-Canales' birthday the day before, and found the bodies on September 20. Adrian Navarro-Canales' cousin came out and told investigators that Navarro-Canales had no friends at school that the family knew. “Navarro-Canales was enrolled as a junior at Coronado High School in Henderson but had not attended classes since school started in August.”(1) He spent most of his time playing video games and was known to be antisocial. His cousin also said he didn't like living in the United States and wanted to go live where he was from, which was Mexico. During the court hearing, Adrian Navarro-Canales, wearing his prison uniform and handcuffs, showed very little emotion as he presented his defense. Adrian Navarro-Canales pleaded not guilty in Las Vegas on Monday, November 18. The topic I chose to investigate is racial disparity.
