CHILLUM, Md. — A 14-year-old has been arrested on murder charges in connection to the fatal stabbing of a taxi driver in Chillum, Maryland Sunday night. The teenager is being charged as an adult, Prince George's County Police said.
Romeo Nolasco Cuellar, 14, is charged with first and second-degree murder in the death of 46-year-old Humberto Sierra Camacho of College Park.
On Feb. 7, Prince George’s County Police Department sent officers to the 7300 block of Riggs Road for a stabbing. On scene, police said they found a man, later identified as Camacho, in a parking lot suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was treated and transported to a local hospital, where he later died, police said.
Police said their initial investigation shows that Camacho was working as a taxi driver Sunday night when he picked up Cuellar as a passenger. During the ride, police say Cuellar allegedly robbed Camacho before stabbing him and fleeing the scene.
Newly released court documents say Camacho picked up Cuellar from a 7-Eleven in Hyattsville. During the roughly 10-minute drive, investigators said Cuellar admitted to pulling out a knife to rob Camacho of $40 to $60. There was a struggle before Camacho was stabbed multiple times, per the court document.
Camacho worked for Taxi Latino de Maryland for only three months, according to coworker Francisco Olivares.
Olivares also set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses and bring his body back to Mexico. Camacho was known to be a hard worker who always focused on his loved ones back home.
"All the money he made he would always send it back to his wife and kids in Mexico," Olivares said. "He was always willing to work and always saying yes."
