NEW PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Seven search warrants now detail new information regarding the investigation into the homicides of 16-year-old Angelito Caraballo and 18-year-old Hunter Mock.
Both were reported missing shortly before two bodies were found in the woods off Ferndale Road last week in New Philadelphia.
According to the search warrants, investigators now believe that Caraballo died from several puncture/laceration-type injuries, and Mock was killed by a gunshot wound to the head.
The search warrants indicate that troopers have identified and interviewed two men who were with Caraballo and Mock the night they were killed.
The area which witnesses refer to as "the Sanchez," an old striping site, is where one of the people questioned by state police say they along with Mock, Caraballo and the other unidentified person went to hang out, and, according to witness statements, "shoot a gun."
The main witness says they "were talking like friends" before the accused shooter pulled a gun and began firing in the direction of Mock and Caraballo.
Each of the two implicates the other in the deaths of the victims.
Following more witness statements police searched phone records, a white Dodge Journey, a home in Port Carbon and requested DNA samples from both people who they say were at the scene of the crime.
During these searches police found an extended magazine for a firearm and a large silver kitchen knife.
Newswatch 16 is not reporting the names of these two individuals at this time. As of Tuesday, neither has been charged in connection with the homicides of Carballo and Mock.
One of the men was arrested last week on unrelated charges and is currently locked up in Schuylkill County.
