A trio of suspects are waiting to go before the judge after being arrested in connection to an aggravated assault involving a knife and brass knuckles.

According to Weslaco Police, two men and one woman went to the home of a 20-year-old acquaintance on March 2nd at about 3 p.m.

Investigators said 21-one year-old Esequiel “Zeke” Rodriguez and 18 year-old Christopher L. Brown used brass knuckles while 20 year-old Samantha Lee Villarreal used a knife to “jump” the victim.

The victim was hit several times with the brass knuckles and was stabbed in the back, side and abdomen during the assault.
