According to an arrest warrant obtained by PEOPLE in 2017, Cargill was beaten to death with a hammer by Roache inside his apartment, after she went to buy marijuana from him. Roache has been incarcerated since his arrest and will get credit for time served, NBC-DFW reports. RELATED: Texas 14-Year-Old Found in Landfill Was Allegedly Killed With a Hammer: Police Police said the case has been delayed several times over the years because of various factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Police surveying the grisly crime scene in Roache's apartment "located small areas of what appeared to be blood spatter along the hallway walls and several doors inside the apartment to include tile bathroom door, bedroom that [the teen] stays in and the hallway closet door," the arrest warrant said. Blood was also found on the kitchen blinds and on a sliding glass door handle. A hammer recovered at the scene had traces of Cargill's DNA on it, the warrant said.

In a written statement read aloud in court, the victim's father, Bo Cargill, told Roache, "She was not yours for the taking, but you did it anyway," the Star-Telegram of Fort Worth reports. Cargill added, "I am tormented every day about what she endured…. My hope is that every day you remember what you did to Kaytlynn." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POPULAR IN CRIME More Close * https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=299278422385813&set=pcb.299275195719469 Lily Peters Chippewa Falls Police Department Pin SUSPECT IN LILY PETERS' KILLING IS 14-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO ALLEGEDLY STRANGLED, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER Article * Drew Barr Pin S.C.
