Julio Zamora, 18, is also charged with two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, police said. Police responded to a call about a burglary in progress at a Clovis home on December 15, shortly before 5 am When officers arrived, they found the garage door open. Munoz allegedly told officers that “everything had been fine there,” according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by People. When one of the officers said he was going to check on Munoz's parents, Munoz allegedly told him he didn't want him to go inside because his parents were sleeping naked. Munoz eventually led the officer inside and went into his bedroom, according to the affidavit. When he came out of the room, his hands were allegedly covered in blood. Officers entered the room and found Munoz's father and stepmother with gunshot wounds, according to the affidavit. Oscar “was still showing signs of life, although he had suffered a gunshot wound to the head,” according to the affidavit. Dina was pronounced dead at the scene. Munoz allegedly told investigators that his parents spent the weekend in San Antonio for their anniversary and that he was home alone. According to the affidavit, he said that when his parents returned, they brought food and he went to bed between 9 and 10 pm, before waking up hours later after hearing the garage door alarm. “He then lied to investigators about whether or not he called 911,” the affidavit states. “However, 911 call records would indicate that Darren did call, and when confronted with this information, Darren admitted to calling 911 to report the [alleged] burglary.” According to police, Munoz told officers that he had been spending time with his girlfriend,who was seen at the house over the weekend by witnesses. An acquaintance of the couple later contacted police alleging that Munoz and two of his friends had been planning to kill the teenager's parents for several weeks or months, according to the affidavit. The acquaintance stated that "Darren wanted to take over his parents' belongings and finances, and this is how they would do it," the affidavit states, adding that the acquaintance alleged there was a plan for Darren to trade an AR rifle for a Glock Phantom or a pistol with no serial number. In an interview with police, Munoz's girlfriend stated that he "wanted his father's money" and Zamora "agreed to kill Darren's parents in exchange for the money when he got it," according to the affidavit. Investigators alleged that the "belief" was that Oscar owned a convenience store franchise and that if he died, the money would end up killing his son. The alleged plan, according to his girlfriend, was for Zamora searched the garage and then shot Munoz's parents in their bed, according to the affidavit. Upon executing a search warrant on Munoz's phone, investigators allegedly discovered a conversation between Zamora and Munoz in which Munoz said his parents hadn't arrived home yet, but were on their way. “Darren also told Julio that his parents would let him know when they were on their way and that he would pass this information on to him,” according to the affidavit. Home security footage also allegedly shows Munoz concealing a handgun in his waistband around 5 pm the night before the murders. Zamora was later arrested as he left his home and allegedly had a ghost gun in his possession, police reported. "The motive for the murders was financial. Darren believed he would inherit a large sum of money if his mother and stepmother disappeared," the affidavit states.
