New Details Emerge in Baeza Murder Case
Rockwall police say the man who confessed to killing 15-year-old Surie Baeza has a broken wrist presumably sustained in the attack.
Mother's Former Boyfriend Arrested in Teen's Death
Rockwall police say the estranged boyfriend of the victim's mother has confessed to the stabbing death of a 15-year-old high school student.
Friends and family remembered a slain 15-year-old at a candlelight vigil on Friday night.
Surie Baeza was stabbed to death in her home on Tuesday. Her mother's estranged boyfriend, Juan Enrique Torres, has been arrested in connection with her slaying.
Loved ones gathered a few streets away from Baeza's home to remember the sweet, charismatic 15-year-old.
"She was always cracking jokes, really sweet to everybody, but tough when she needed to be," Rockwall Health High School sophomore Kristen Foster said.
It's a tragedy so horrific that it's nearly impossible for some of Baeza's friends to understand.
"My daughter is the same age," Tamara Shroyer said. "They are best friends. We went to her house yesterday, and my daughter was just waiting for her to come out and she just kept saying, 'She's not coming out. She's not coming out.' It broke my heart."
Baeza's mother, Irma Baeza, did not speak at the vigil, but her face spoke volumes about what she and her children are going through.
"I can promise you, the district attorney's office will do everything in our power to make sure Surie Baeza gets the justice she deserves," Rockwall County District Attorney Kenda Culpepper said.
Until then, friends and family are clinging to one another and their memories of Surie Baeza.
"I remember spending the first Christmas here in Dallas with Surie and her family," cousin Nadeli Honeycutt said. "I remember when Surie saw snow for the first time; the glow in her eyes was incredible."
Honeycutt spoke on behalf of the Baeza family.
"Rest in peace, my sweet and loving cuz," she said. "In heaven, you will have your dance. Everlasting and eternal happiness are now yours."
Torres is in the Rockwall County Jail charged with homicide. His bond is set at $1 million.

Slain Pastor Remembered at Vigil
Hundreds of mourners and the slain pastor's family filled Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church's parking lot to remember Danny Kirk Sr. The suspect's widow, a member of the congregation, also attended the vigil.
Search for Answers in Pastor's Murder
A medical examiner has released the name of a man who died in police custody after police say attacked and killed a church pastor in suburban Fort Worth. Police don't know if Derrick Birdow knew Reverend Danny Kirk Senior. An officer used a stun gun on Birdow after Kirk was fatally beaten.
Family and friends will bury a beloved North Texas pastor Saturday, five days after he was brutally murdered inside his Forest Hill church.
Pastor Danny Kirk was killed Monday after police say Derrick Birdow crashed his car into the Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church before beating the pastor to death with an electric guitar.
Officers responding to a 911 call from the church confronted Birdow and subdued him with a stun gun and placed him in a police car. When they went to check on him 10 minutes later, he was unresponsive. Birdow was later declared dead.
The pastor had a daughter, Danielle, that died when she was 3-years-old. Church members said the family was still struggling with her death and that Kirk's son found comfort in the fact that his father and sister are now together.
The pastor's funeral will be held at Fort Worth's Great Commission Missionary Baptist Church at noon. A wake was held Friday night.

Slain Pastor Remembered at Vigil
Hundreds of mourners and the slain pastor's family filled Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church's parking lot to remember Danny Kirk Sr. The suspect's widow, a member of the congregation, also attended the vigil.
Pastor Danny Kirk's choir from his Greater Sweet Home Baptist church got more than 1,000 mourners on their feet on Saturday at Great Commission Baptist Church in Fort Worth.
Those who led the service called Pastor Kirk a blessing in the lives of everyone there. One of his biggest blessings shares his name. And his charismatic son Danny "DJ" Kirk, Jr brought the house down with a personal and powerful song to his father. He sang, "I never could have made it without you… I see how you were there for me."
DJ Kirk was at home at the podium, telling everyone gathered and specifically his own mother, they will be OK. He also shared a little about his relationship with his father.
"Me and my dad we never fussed, we never argued," which brought some laughter from the crowd. "After all the whuppins he gave me, that same night he'd say 'DJ I love you, just don't do that no more.' I'd say, 'I got you.'"
Before Danny Kirk Sr. became a pastor he was a regional manager for Pepsi. He left a mark there, too. A woman he hired, Rosa Jones said, "We love you Danny. We will always bleed blue, Pepsi blue. Thanks for your guidance. Thank you Danny for being my role model."
Pastors from area congregations are seeing to it Kirk's widow, Lori and his son have all they need emotionally and financially. They've donated several thousand dollars so far to help Danny Kirk Jr. go to college.
Danny Kirk was killed Monday after police say Derrick Birdow crashed his car into the Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church before beating the pastor to death with an electric guitar. Officers put Birdlow in custody after subduing him with a stun gun, but when they checked on him several minutes later he was dead.

RAW VIDEO: Plane Hits Car At Roanoke Airport
RAW VIDEO of SUV and plane that lost its landing gear after collision at NW Regional Airport.
A plane attempting to land at the Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke hit a car on the runway Saturday afternoon.
Two people inside the car were hurt. This is the fourth recent incident involving an aircraft at the Roanoke airport in the last two months.
The Department of Public Safety told NBC 5 the plane was trying to land when it hit a Volvo SUV.
"A 2005 Cessna Skyhawk was landing south on the runway," said DPS spokesman Lonny Haschel. "[The SUV] vehicle was on the airport property, what they call the perimeter road, and crossed in front of the aircraft. The aircraft landing gear hit the top portion of the SUV that was traveling on that perimeter road. The aircraft lost its landing gear and crashed here on the runway."
The Federal Aviation Administration is on scene and taking over the investigation.
The pilot, William Davis of Flower Mound, was not injured. DPS identified the two people inside the car as Frank and Heather Laudo of Flower Mound. They were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It's unclear why the car was on the runway.
Roanoke is about 25 miles northwest of Dallas in Denton County.
This is the fourth incident involving a plane from the airport in the past two months. On Oct. 12, pilot Phillip Witt suffered minor cuts and bruises when his biplane crashed into a pasture near the airport.
On Oct. 6, four members of a Southlake family died in a crash. The plane carrying Leonard Ledet, his brother Greg and sons Paul and Mason originated from Northwest Regional Airport. It crashed in Van Zandt County.
On Sept. 23, a pilot and flight instructor died when their plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Northwest Regional Airport. The incident killed flight instructor Charlie Yates and pilot Christopher Pratt.
