Teen Wanted Mother Dead and TV Unharmed

Calos Chereza tried to hire a hitman and got caught. The "killer" Chereza hired turned out to be an undercover detective.

Sadly, Chereza is only 17-years old. Sadder still, the person he wanted killed was his own mother. A domestic disagreement prompted the teen to ask around for someone willing to shoot his mother and make it look like a robbery. The detective volunteered and was promised $2,000 out of the money Chereza expected to collect after his mother's death.

Fort Myers, Florida police arrested Chereza for solicitation to commit first-degree murder. They reported that Chereza provided everything needed to carry out the "hit." He gave the undercover detective a map, a key to the apartment, and a picture of the intended victim. Then the teen added a final instruction.

Carlos Chereza did not want anything to happen to the television.
