Khaberni - Albuquerque, New Mexico witnessed a shocking murder incident after Alexis Hernandez, age 25, shot two individuals inside a home in the southwest of the city, claiming he had received an encrypted message from a cockroach demanding him to kill one of them.
A statement from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office reported that the police arrived at the house on Friday evening, only to find the bodies of two unidentified men with gunshot wounds, while three adults and two children who were also present in the house were unharmed.
