Authorities said the 15-year-old victim was at a store near Wyda Way and Bell Street with friends when he was harassed by a group who thought he was from a rival gang based on his appearance. The people harassing him used gang-related language and showed gang signs with their hands. The teen ignored the group and walked with his friends back to the Wyda Way home.
Not long after, the people who had been harassing the teen drove up to the home and started an argument with him and his friends, who were outside, according to authorities. Gregg, 41, ran outside, followed by his girlfriend. A fight ensued, leaving the three victims stabbed.
Torres is scheduled to be arraigned on a murder charge in Sacramento Superior Court today. He had been expected to return to court in May for further proceedings in a misdemeanor domestic-violence case filed against him in August, according to Superior Court records available online. Torres has one prior conviction in Sacramento County, following a no-contest plea to a misdemeanor accessory charge in 2012.
