Document: Man shot and killed tried to break up brothers’ fight

Nicholas Negrete Peters, 24, has been charged with murder and aggravated assault after police say that he shot his younger brother Johnathan, and killed his brother’s friend, Infant Pacheco.

According to court documents obtained by the ABC-7 I-team, Nicholas and Jonathan Peters were arguing before it turned into a physical fight.

Documents state Pacheco tried to break up the fight when Nicholas Peters allegedly opened fire and shot Pacheco.

At the hospital, Jonathan Peters said his brother turned to him and shot him in the stomach.

Investigators say B. Tavakoli Nejad, a friend of Nicholas Peters’, was in sleeping in the living room of the home when he awoke to the sound of three gunshots.

He told investigators he heard Jonathan yelling at his brother, “You’re going to jail, Nick.”

Records show Nicholas Peters called 9-1-1 and when officers arrived, they found him and the gun in front of the home.

Nicholas Negrete Peters was booked into the El Paso county jail with bond set at 1.2 million dollars.
