Nehemiah Griego

A Bernalillo County grand jury indicted Nehemiah Griego on Monday on five counts of first-degree murder, and District Attorney Kari Brandenberg said she intends to prosecute the 15-year-old as an adult. 

Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said Griego admitted to killing his family on Jan. 19. He is accused of killing his father, the Rev. Greg Griego, his mother, Sara, and his three younger siblings, Zehania, Jael and Angelina. 

Griego is being held without bond at the Juvenile Detention Center. Griego will be arraigned in district court but the date has not been set.
