A 57-year-old man has been charged with attempting to kill a young girl while hiring a hitman in the US, reports True Crime Daily.
Between May and November 2021, Armando Conceicao allegedly contacted another person named “Individual 1” to ask him to kill the 13-year-old girl.
The two would have met in New Jersey in May 2021, where Mr. Conceicao would have given him the address as well as the photo of the girl living in Texas.
Subsequently, Armando Conceicao would have paid the individual so that he might travel to the state where the teenager resides. “Individual 1” would have stayed there for a week, the time to take photos of the house and the car of the girl’s father.
Upon his return, Mr. Conceicao allegedly encouraged him to pursue their plan.
In November, the two met once more to discuss their plans.
“Individual 1” allegedly told Armando Conceicao that he knew a “guy” who might act for only “15 or 10 dollars, and the problem would be solved,” read the court documents.
Conceicao would have accepted. During their meeting, “Individual 1” allegedly told him: “If we kill a little girl, it’s only a person”.
The connection between the 57-year-old man and the girl is still unclear.
If Armando Conceicao were convicted, he might be imprisoned for 10 years and have to pay $250,000.
