A probable cause affidavit obtained by EverythingLubbock.com on Thursday detailed the arrest of 29-year-old Nickolas Anthony Deleon and what led to him fatally stab his mother.
At 7:40 a.m. on Wednesday, the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office was called to respond to an incident in the 6600 block of North County Road 1630 in Shallowater.

While being interviewed by detectives, Deleon told them he was “tired of her s***” so he decided to kill her. On Wednesday morning he had planned to ask his mother to bring him breakfast and go through with the stabbing, the affidavit detailed.
She would not go into the house initially, and after a struggle on the porch, court records said Deleon admitted that he stabbed her and then used bleach. According to the affidavit, Deleon said that he knew that he would be in trouble for killing his mother and that he had planned it and it “had to happen today.”
Deleon was booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center on a murder charge and remained there as of Thursday.
