BRECKENRIDGE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Three Breckenridge teens are accused of lying to police by saying they walked in on their friend suffering from a gunshot wound. Mark Campbell, Jr., Tylen Collins, and Oliziah Reyes were all booked into the Stephens County Jail Thursday for Making a False Report to a Peace Officer in connection to the death of Zackery Smith, 19, who was shot and killed inside an apartment in Breckenridge October 19. Court documents state all three teens gave a similar false narrative to police, saying Campbell woke up the morning of October 19 looking for his Airpods, then asked for a ride to Smith’s house to find him. Their story then says all three of the arrested teens went into Smith’s apartment and found him suffering from a gunshot wound on the couch, according to the documents, which state the teens then claimed to call 9-1-1 right after finding him. The documents didn’t detail exactly what happened that night, but did confirm investigators determined this story was a lie. Smith’s parents told KTAB and KRBC one of the teens was inside the apartment when Smith was shot.They believe Smith and this teen were playing with a gun when it was discharged, and Smith was shot, and they also believe this teen didn’t call police or try to get help and instead went to his friends and got them to construct the lie with him. No additional charges have been issued in connection to this crime, though it is still an active investigation. BigCountryHomepage.com will provide updates on this case.
