Two Texas teens have been arrested and charged with the first degree murder of a classmate.
Both 16-year-old males are accused of killing 17-year-old Ivan Mejia. All three boys attend Wylie East High School in Collin County, TX.
Police in Garland received a call Saturday night regarding a suspicious vehicle parked near a wooded area. Upon arrival, the officers saw a vehicle matching the call description. They then proceeded into the nearby woods and saw two teens running away. The officers returned to the suspect vehicle on the chance the young men would return to the car, which they eventually did.
When asked what they had been doing, one of the teens said they were "burying a body," according to Wylie police.
Officers detained the teens and waited for backup to arrive while they cordoned off the area. A search of the woods led to the body of 17-year-old Mejia.
Although the teen's body was found in Garland, police say the killing of the student took place in Wylie behind a local high school. Authorities are calling the murder premeditated.
Both teens are currently in the Collin County Juvenile Detention Facility in McKinney, and are both charged with first degree murder.
