Police said the victim went to Guevara’s grandmother’s house without knowing Childs was there waiting with a handgun.

Guevara and Childs forced the victim to the ground and tied him up before taking his money, phone and keys, according to police.

Through further investigation, the affidavit said Childs admitted to his father that he and Guevara planned to rob the victim.

Childs is being charged with aggravated robbery and remains in Bexar County Jail on a $100,000 bond, according to court documents.
