Early this morning, a man who allegedly stabbed his father to death in Tracy was taken into custody.

Mitchell Barron, 22, was arrested by the Hayward Police Department on suspicion of homicide at about 3 a.m. this morning and taken to the Tracy Police Department for questioning, according to a press release from Tracy police Sgt. Luis Mejia. Through investigation, Tracy police officers found that Mitchell allegedly stabbed his father, 42-year-old Jose Barron, as they were returning home after work, but no reason has been determined.

At 11:17 p.m. Friday, police received a call about a stabbing on the 1700 block of Thicket Court. Before officers arrived, officials from Sutter Tracy Community Hospital told police that a trauma victim, a man, had arrived at the hospital in a private car.

Barron was pronounced dead not long after he arrived at the hospital.

The investigation is still ongoing, and Mitchell is set to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. June 2 in Manteca.

This is the first homicide for the city of Tracy in 2010.

Geez, all I said was the dude looked like Penelope Cruz. There were no racial overtones in that comment at all and look at the fight it started between these two comment kings.

To ConcernedNeighbor: Patricide/matricide are horrific crimes. Whether the son will someday feel guilt depends on whether he's schizophrenic and 'voices' told him to snuff dad or if the killing was due to drug abuse. He's in custody now and whatever drug supply he may have had access to has been cut off. My bet is the police already have accumulated a ton of info re the case. It's either schizophrenia or dope or more likely a combination of the two. What boils me is if someone knew he was mentally ill and sold him drugs. That person is equally if not moreso responsible for the father's death.

I can't imagine killing your own parent!!! NO matter what race, nationality, religion, culture, so tired of being politically correct and I fear this may play part of decay of USA since we don't want to confront things with bare and honest truths!

Still can't believe one would kill their own parent as well parent killing their own child or even children!

That was nice of you,Aztec. I knew that somewhere inside you was the barest hint of decency. Now go back to the demonstration waving your stupid sign 'Viva los hotos'.

Check out Tinfoil when he was a kid...

Read it and weep,Aztec.

----------------------------

The Aztec Empire

The Spanish landed upon the shores of Meso-America in February of the year 1519, in the area of Vera Cruz. By November of that year, the Spanish fleet, commanded by Hernando Cortez composed of only a hundred men, entered into Tenochtitlan and simply arrested the Emperor of the Aztec, Montezuma. Within the time span of two years, Cortez dismantled the Aztec monarchy and gained control of all of Tenochtitlan, and many of it's surrounding territories.

Why was the Aztec Empire taken so easily and quickly by the Europeans led by Cortez? There are many factors to consider in answering such a question. Of the most important is the fact that the Aztecs were very stupid wussies.

Did your mom name you Aztec? You should websearch the Aztecs. They were blood thirsty savages who got their butts kicked by 100 Spaniards. If you rode a time machine back to their era they'd kill you before you could say viva la raza. As for speed in it's varied forms I've witnessed it in use at every hard,physical jobsite I've ever labored at. Methedrine,benzedrine,dexedrine. Speed's been an epidemic since the late 1960s.

YOU INBREED DELIVERANCE WANNABE, first off get your History straight, second you didn't even answer my question's...please stop, it's kind of sad...don't forget to take you medication SIR...

Well that's interesting. I guess it is called the Greybar Hotel. It's amazing how wordages change thru time. My dad,born in 1910 always called the county jail the Gray Hotel. And sure enough it was gray. Or grey as the case may be. The expression probably began as the Greybar Hotel then changed to street slange Gray Hotel for conversational purposes. I'm sure back during the 1930s if you said you're going to the Gray Hotel everyone knew exactly what you meant.

---------------------------

Greybar Hotel

A word for going to jail, the clink, the slammer.

Ernie stole some space heaters and a bike in broad daylight. He was whiskey drunk and got caught by the police.

He will be spending the night in the Greybar Hotel.

Ya folks really ought th listen ya yerselves as ya unleash yer unbridled rage against Tinfoil in what he writes.

BigUnc writes. "Did your mom name you after tinfoil,which white trrialer trash used too smoke meth out of! Do you have a sister named Lightbulb? I bet your family is trailer trash, meth smoking, inbreed's. Typical white's."

That sounds good ta white people now don't it?

astec writes, "I just had enough about you trik, first off you don't even live in in Tracy, you live in the desert.Let me ask you a Question? So all the work places like field work, manufacturing, warehousing, etc have a big meth problem? So that tell me that you have never work or got you hands dirty you lazy prik. Your probably on Megan's law you perv, you fit the description white male, right-wing, has the mind set of a 10 year old and lives with his parents. You're a disgrace to this country and human kind."

Probably makes white people feel really good about other races of people now don't it?

BigUnc writes, "Tinfoil....thats Greystone not "Grey Hotel" u freaking lop!!!!!! "

Well actually th term is Greybar but who really gives a crap?

TiredOfExcuses writes,"Tinfoil, I have never heard of a paisa with the name Mitchell. So there for he's most likely an American."

Ya must really get around ta have met all th paisa's in this world ta know that information factually. Or does it mean that because you have never heard it they don't exist?

tinfoil- man you should just chnge yer name to misterknowitall what a socio-logical oddity someone who has an answer for everthing a frigin expert on every subject fom the mating habits of the scandinavian flyig deer fish to the elemental physics of the univer"tool".

Here's a great one from thornton_melon who wrote, "TCY1- I hope you Die in a freak accident.yer almost as anoying as sarah palin. Frigin "troglodite" an follows it up with th sage words, "so i cant spell I bet you know what this means F_ _ _ _ Y_ _." Makes ya feel all warm an bubbly towards ths person now don't it?

Ever hear th term race baitin? Here is it in th second post under this article when thornton_melon wrote on Saturday, May 29 at 08:18 PM, "Cant wait to hear all the racial things that folks are going to start on this thread. LOL! "Typical tracy pressers", "typical"

Looks like ye came inta th comment section just spoilin fer a fight now don't it. Wonder what that says about his character as well?

Folks, if yer complain about th way that others comment, don't become worse than th person you are tryin ta argue with. Use a little of yer brain an figure out a way ta say what ya want ta say without stoopin below thair level. You only make yerself look dumber than th guy or gal yer arguin with.

To Tracy PD: Please investigate where the kid and his father worked. If it's hard,physical work you may find that speed/meth is used by much or most of the employee force. Could be meth,could be bennies. But it will answer your question as to motive.
