Teen accused of ‘retaliation’ murder blows kisses in court as victim’s family looks on

A 17-year-old boy in Texas , who allegedly murdered the stepfather of the girl he started stalking because she rebuffed him romantically, blew kisses during a court hearing with the victim’s family watching in the gallery.

Houston CBS affiliate KHOU reported it was not clear who the kisses were directed to during the hearing in which a judge increased Cristian Gasca Martinez’s bond from $200,000 to $2 million. Both the victim and the defendant’s family members were in attendance. He is accused of killing 37-year-old Osvaldo Casas in August.

Casas’ wife Judith Molina in a GoFundMe expressed gratitude that the bond was increased. She also thanked people who pitched in to help pay for her husband’s funeral. Some of the money was also used to help raise their baby boy, who was born just three days after the family laid Casas to rest. Molina said she may have to move her family to a new area because her daughter is being “harassed” by Gasca Martinez’s friends.
