A 15-year-old boy remains in custody in Texas after he was accused of stabbing his 62-year-old neighbor to death.
Dana Magnuson’s body was found in her Harris County backyard shed with multiple stab wounds on 20 July at approximately 7pm. Investigators believe she was first attacked in a hot tub behind her house.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, and her alleged attacker was arrested nine days later on Monday (29 July), before being taken to the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities have not released the suspect’s name due to his age.
ABC13 claims sources have revealed the teenager told investigators he wanted to “see what it was like to stab someone”.
In a Facebook post, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said his department’s “condolences go out to the victim’s family and all persons impacted by this tragic death,” and in another described her as “an active community member and beloved by everyone who knew her.”
He also congratulated his homicide investigators, who “worked tirelessly on this case.”
On a GoFundMe page Magnuson’s eldest son, Tyler Pitney, wrote that his mother was gardening when she was attacked, and said: “Anyone who knew my mom, knows that she loved everybody and would give the shirt off her back or the shoes off her feet for just about anybody in need-especially her friends and family.”
Fox26 also reported his claims that his mother had just returned from a bike ride when she began gardening.
He also said the boy accused of killing her was a neighbor who would go over to help her with household chores, explaining that he was “nothing out of the ordinary, regular looking kid, looks like he comes from a decent home.”

Hope he’s raped viciously then beaten to death. POETIC JUSTICE.
And just still another part of Democrats’ beloved junkies CRIME WAVE of 75+ MURDERS DAILY!
They HAVE to start punishing these criminals! If he’s old enough to stab someone to death, by golly, he’s old enough for the death penalty! They are much too lenient on criminals!
Absolutely! This is why John Adams said that we have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by Morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge, or Gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other! We have to get democrats on board with our Constitution and morals in society! They are doing the work of the devil!
Absolutely NONE of the evils of religion addiction mental illness is in U.S. Constitution…
What a generation of bipedal trash we have now! People ask why we go out armed!
And this is why they are trying to disarm us. They want chaos which they will then impose martial law and make us a police state with the top 1 percent controlling us. The democrats admire the power China and Russia have over their people, all why calling them dictators that they want to be. This is why they hate Trump. He can’t be bought and he loves the Constitution and America.
Get A Rope! end of message…
You can thank our education system for the lack of morals and conscience becoming more and more prevalent in our youth.
An eye for an eye! Don’t want to hear that this 15 year old is behind bars for the rest of his life! Don’t want to pay taxes so this piece of crap can eat or live one more day! Bring back the death penalty and give this kid what he deserves!! And that is death!!
Kill! kill! kill! One murder is not enough. You want to double the murders. A 15 year
is not mature enough to vote, drink, smoke, enter into binding contracts or make many decisions without consent of his parents. His brain is not fully developed and he should not be treated as an adult.
