FORT WORTH — The man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, her mother and aunt told police that he did so after his ex-girlfriend woke up and caught him stealing from her family’s south Fort Worth home, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Cedric D. McGinnis Jr. told investigators that 21-year-old April Serrano had let him into her bedroom window that night so that the two could have sex.

He also planned on burglarizing the house after everyone was asleep.

“Once he thought she was also asleep, he began to walk through the house, but April woke up,” states the affidavit, obtained by the Star-Telegram Friday.

McGinnis, 22, told police that he then shot April Serrano, her aunt Kathy DeLeon, 35; and her mother, Cynthia Serrano, 46, in the head.

Out of ammunition and with Cynthia Serrano still alive, McGinnis said he grabbed a knife to stab her, the affidavit states.

He then gathered electronic items, April Serrano’s tennis shoes and change from three piggy banks, stepping over her body near the front door as he took the items to his car.

The items were later recovered by police at his apartment.

McGinnis remained in the Mansfield jail Friday with bail set at $1.5 million. He faces a capital murder charge.
