Sean Nelson
Sometimes justice comes a little too late, like in the case of 22-year-old Sean Nelson.
Sean Nelson, his 20-year-old brother, Derrick Nelson, and 20-year-old Helen McKonnen, all piled into a black Honda at about 4 in the morning and drove to a neighbor’s house – which was about half a block away from the Nelson residence.
In that house lived the Gonzalez family, which consisted of 17-year-old Ana Christina Gonzalez, her 1-year-old son, her father and her two brothers, one of which was 16 and the other 20.
Well, Sean Nelson had a shotgun and wanted some of the stuff that was in Gonzalez family’s house, including a video game system. Probably an Xbox 360.
So, because he wanted this stuff, Sean Nelson walked into the Gonzalez’s house at about 4:30 in the morning, pointed his shotgun at Ana Christina Gonzalez and her brother, Jose, and demanded that they load the stuff that he wanted into the car that was waiting outside.
After making two trips to the car, someone made a wrong move somewhere and Sean Nelson pulled the trigger of his shotgun, which discharged and killed Ana Christina.
This upset the rest of the Gonzalez family. It upset them a great deal.
Considering that the 1-year-old was now without a mother, because of an act by an idiot who wanted stuff, it’s not hard to understand why.
The Gonzalez family was so upset, that the 16-year-old brother and the 20-year-old brother of Ana Gonzalez beat Sean Nelson to death in their living room.
According to the Contra Costa County coroner, Sean Nelson died as a result of blows to the head and from being strangled.
Derrick Nelson and Helen McKonnen, who were waiting in the car this entire time, were surprised by police cruisers rolling up behind them.
They were arrested, questioned, and will probably be charged with robbery, burglary and murder.
Ana Christina’s brothers will probably not be charged, according to Lieutenant Andrew Gartner of the Concord Police Department, who also stated:
There was certainly an element of justification.
Sean Nelson’s father, who happens to be in the preaching business, is said to be devastated that a dispute about material possessions resulted in the deaths of two people.
I’m sure People You’ll See In Hell readers would disagree with that stance, and insist that there was only one person’s death that was devastating – Ana Christina’s.
Sean Nelson’s death was well-deserved.

This is a tough one. Not whether Sean will go to hell — obviously he was a scumbag — but whether it was right for Ana’s family to kill him. If I were in their place I might have done the same thing, but I think the law says you’re only allowed to hurt someone in self-defense. Once Sean was disarmed and unconscious and/or incapacitated, they were supposed to stop hitting him and call the cops to have him hauled off to jail and spend the rest of his life in prison. I suppose I don’t blame them for getting carried away, but it’s a fine line. Suppose Ana’s brothers had followed Sean back home and killed him there? Would that have been okay too?
What were they going to do? Stand back and let him shoot the rest of their family> the little baby? Their Mother and Father? No, they did the right thing…
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that their best hope, if they went and followed Sean Nelson home and killed him there, would be for jury nullification.
Although I’ve seen cases where two officers are “restraining” an offender, and the punches of one officer cause the offender to move in such a way as to be interpreted as resisting by the other officer, who then responds in a similar manner as the first. Then it’s just a chain reaction that results in the offender being converted into a fine red paste.
That could have been what happened in the Gonzalez living room.
Just my hunch but it was probably hard for them to think rationally considering they just watched their sister get blown away with a shotgun. Plus, even if the suspect is disarmed, doesn’t make him any less dangerous. In their shoes, I would have done the same thing to make sure the suspect was down and my family safe. If it kills him or her in the process, so be it.
the little shit got what he deserved…there are a lot of things I want but I don’t go out and steal them…I go without or I work my ass off to get the things I want.
I agree, this guy got what he deserved. It’s too bad his accomplices didn’t get a share of it. I feel no pity for these people whatsoever, as with IPattyKake, if I can’t afford it, I do without- and I hope these people do without any freedom for a very long time.
“Once Sean was disarmed and unconscious and/or incapacitated, they were supposed to stop hitting him and call the cops to have him hauled off to jail and spend the rest of his life in prison.”
Unless the POS was lucky enough to live in a DP state.
And, it’s very likely that the POS was disarmed/unconscious/incapacitated and DEAD within a few seconds, like he hopefully would be if he’d shown up at my house. Why would anyone think that after having seen your sister/daughter murdered, leaving a baby behind, that anyone would take a LONG time beating them to death? My guess is that it would only take a minute or two, at most. And, that is reasonable. Why in the world would some POS deserve life in prison, when he did not step back and let this mother/sister/daughter live? You assume it only took a split-second to blast her life away, but the truth is, that she could have lived longer after being shot than the POS did after being ‘beaten’.
And, the POS had a good reason to be dead, whereas the girl did not.

No doubt Glory! I’m not a big fan of vigilante justice (outside of the confines of my imagination, that is), but it seems to me that this situation is the epitome of karma. How about this, if you don’t want to be beaten to death, how about not breaking into someone’s home, taking hostages, robbing them blind, and murdering their sister/daughter/mother. I think that’s fair. I think it’s pretty safe to assume that if you are “man” enough to do all of the above, you’re “man” enough to get the living daylights beaten out of you-literally. Since this was a preacher’s kid and his victims were 3 generations of a family living together, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that this kid lived much better than did this family. So, forgive me for not having sympathy for this kid and the grisly end he met.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I have no sympathy for Sean Nelson either. He deserved what he got. I’m just not entirely comfortable with the idea of the brothers basically taking the law into their own hands.
So if that was say your mother, sister or daughter who was shot you would stand there and do nothing?
They had every right to defend theirselves and to beat the shit out of him.. He deserved to die
ok as we’ve ALL seen there are plenty of cases on this site where justice is NOT served. Like fuck head POS’ getting off easy or getting really tiny sentences. this, as we’ve seen before, would probably be one of those disfunctional cases.
that being said, definitely the descision that was “thought” out by Ana’s brothers is strictly the definition of justice. That’s all it is, justice.
I just hope that if Ana’s death wasn’t instant that her body when into shock like “it’s suppose” to do when one is shot (at least that’s what I’ve heard) and from that point I hope that Sean’s death was tortorous and painful and really by any account that it’s inflicted by bare hands it probably was.
Even though kharma and justice kicked his ass he doesn’t have to live with the guilt that by no doubt would’ve eventually caught up to him. Ana’s son has to live without a mother as well as everyone else living without her.
I’m saddened by the fact that she had so much life to live and doesn’t get to. As far as Sean, he was already dead inside.
Admin,
Was there any connection between Sean and the Gonzales family or was it just a random house they went to? Do you know?
I read in some news articles that members of his family knew members of the Gonzales family but it’s not clear whether Sean himself knew the victims. Also they lived on the same block, or street, or something.
I was just wondering if it went deeper than an “x-box” even though it’s still no excuse.
I’m a huge fan of vigilante justice. I suppose it’s all the Batman. I don’t think vigilante justice is the thing for every crime, but if you kill someone or torture a baby or something similar, I hope someone gets a hold of you and cuts your balls/tits off. Yes, the bastard got what was coming to him.
Wow, thats f*ckn great that they went vigilante on that piece of shit. If I was in their shoes, I would have done the same in a heart beat… this kid thought he was tough, but you see what happened as soon as his gun (balls) was gone?? he got STOMPEDDDDD OUUTTTT!! I feel for the family though, as a baby is without its mother now…atleast the brothers made sure justice was served.. as for the other two “shoulda-been abortions”, I hope they rot in prison ….
In NH it’s perfectly legal to kill someone that enters your house or domicile with the intent to hurt or kill you. It’s also very possible that the scumbag was killed whilst he was being restrained. Personally if I was in such a situation I would torture the fucker before killing him
Eyyy blud these nikkas have the funniest teef in the world. From my part of the hood these hombres were nick named the donkey brothers cause of their teef. HEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWW GUFFFFFFFFAAAAWWWWW
Seriously? Can we get back to the story, Jackass Jr.?
I would have done the same thing if I had just seen my sister get blown away. There is no DA that would risk career sucide by charging these brothers
Sorry, Meaghan, but I would have done the same thing. I would have beat that man to death.
That is exactly what the head of a household, man of the house should do.
You protect yours, and if you can not do that, you get the POS that killed yours.
RIP Ana Christina. Her brothers should get a medal and a parade. Nothing will bring their sister back, but this freak won’t hurt anyone again, either.
I hope his little helpers learned a thing or two as well.
Gawd do I wish this had happened in Texas, right next door to Joe Horn’s house. While the brothers took care of the POS inside he could of been happily firing away on that little Honda. One shot from Joe Horn and that tank would of gone off like a Desert Storm Laser Guided Missile.
Outstanding.
Does anyone know if there was a T-Bagging in this somewhere? A beat down like that deserves a good bagging.
What did this guy think? That he could go into their house with a gun and steal from them, and then shoot their sister dead and they would react by making him a nice cup of tea and offer him some biscuits, and send him off afterwards with a care package? He deserved what he got. Pity they didnt kick his arse before he shot the sister though.
Pity too that the cops arrived and arrested the two in the car before the brothers made it outside to unleash justice their way.
He really wanted that new Atary 2600 they had. And wow, what great friends he had to help him out. Sittin’ in the car while he’s bustin’ caps into a girl.
I’m not sure who the biggest pieces of shit here are? The fuckhead with the gun that went in or the lazy ass fuckheads who wanted all the shit from the house but were to scared to go in? Gawd do I hate these tough questions… Think… Think… think… Screw it, just blow them all away!!
yaw got my biig brother fucked up cuz even if they followed him they would have never killed all of us ..
and i hope the people who killed him get sumthn 2 cuz no matter what murder is murder they didnt have to kill hym they could have held him down till the police came
and for all yu people who wanna call sean out of his name yaw sum bitches cuz guarentee none of yaw is bout what yaw sayin
r.i.p sean i miss yu and thnk about you every single day even got yo name tatted on my ar,
DAMMIT!!! WHAT IS SOOOO HARD ABOUT SPEAKING LIKE YOU HAVE SOME FORM OF AN EDUCATION!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS AN “AR”? IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE ARM? CAN YOU SPELLCHECK? OR IS THAT NOT “GANGSTA” TO SPELL WORDS CORRECTLY, OR EVEN SPELL THEM OUT!? YOUR ASSHOLE BROTHER WOULD NOT EVEN BE IN OUR THOUGHTS HAD HE NOT DECIDED THAT HE COULD JUST TAKE THINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. HE BLEW AWAY A YOUNG MOTHER WITH A SHOTGUN AND WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO DO IT IN HER HOUSE IN FRONT OF HER FAMILY.. HE DESERVES WHAT HE GOT!
lol Lena, good job..
“AR” is arse….. lol
Why is there always someone pretending to be the family? Isn’t that pretty disrespectful, even for a murderer?
Your brother Sean was a joke. He has a shot gun and kills a woman? amd the gets his punk ass beat to death by the woman’s brothers? Oh My God, what divinely perfect justice.
And you, how could you call what these 2 real men did murder. All the Gonzalez brothers did was make your punk ass brother Sean pay the price for killing their sister, a defenseless woman and mother.
So fuck you and especially, fuck Sean. If I even get the chance, you can bet I’ll piss on that little motherfucker’s grave.
LOL I will go with you and piss on it too!
Sounds like they were acting in self defense since Sean Nelson was in the victim’s home trying to steal. Why did he even kill the girl?
For one thing hell is a mankind grave. There was more to it than all you people know. Yes it was wrong for Ana to die and Sean should never had been there. What would you do if they got your little brother messed up on drugs and one of the brothers turned him out at seventeen(gay). See everyone wants to judge, however everyone do not know the whole story. Judgement should be left to GOD!
So, someone turns my brother into a Gay prostitute, so I’m going to go steal an XBox and then shoot someone?
Get your head on straight, tighten anything that needs to be tightened, clean out your ears, and listen.
A Judge was a ruler in Israel during the time between the death of Joshua and the rise of Saul. The closest analog to it, is someone who chooses. Someone who chooses correctly. Jesus commended Simon and said “Thou hast rightly judged,”(Luke 7:43).
What you really want is for people to forgive your friend or relative. What you really need to be focusing on is a part of Luke 7:49
“Who is this man who even forgives sins?”
The bible calls on us to judge every day. To rule upon our lives as best we can, and judge those who have done wrong. It also calls on forgiveness, but that actually requires contrition, an acceptance of what they have done wrong.
We have secular judgments as well that are absolutely necessary. If a serial rapist was going door to door, raping every person he could find and then killing them, wouldn’t you want someone to stop him before he got to your door? Someone would have to make a decision. Someone would have to judge him to be a threat to you as he stood on your doorstep. An officer might have to tell him to stop, might even be required to shoot him.
You make a thousand judgments a day, determining who you are with and where you will not go, and these decisions help you to choose a life that continues from day to day. Read the passage again, and figure out how to judge accordingly. If the bible is truly your compass in this, then you are in fact called to judge by your faith.
“Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” (Prov 31:9)
“The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.” (Psa 37:30)
An XBox is not reasonable payment for getting his little brother hooked on drugs and into prostitution.
You ask what I would do? I would help my brother. I would beat myself up for paying so little attention to my brother that horrid people were able to get their meathooks into him, and then I would grab my brother and have an intervention and get his ass into rehab. I would get an education and a job so I could help my family get out of the ghetto, and so I could be a ROLE MODEL for my younger siblings instead of a thug.
Now, what you are doing ins trying to justify unjustifiable behavior. The fact is that Sean wanted to steal an XBox. He targeted people he hated (whether he had the right to hate them is incidental). He killed an innocent woman. And he got what he deserved afterwards.
You need to grow some brain cells and some ethics, you loser.
That is an excuse, and no justification for BURGLARY. You know, burglary the crime? The one in which if you find someone in your house, you can shoot them because they are threatening your safety and property? Not to mention that this fuckwad SHOT AND KILLED someone in the house.
I’d imagine that the brothers minds went red with rage at that point. They more than likely would have been willing to merely restrain him had he not shot and killed their sister. At the point where she got blown away, I’d assume all bets are off.
Who gives a shit if his dog died, or his brother was gay and proffering 5 dollar blow jobs? We all have problems… but we don’t all handle it by killing teenage mothers with young infants. He invited Death in, and got exactly what he asked for.
BTW, is that not “justifiable homicide” as per the law, or is it “excusable”? I always get those two mixed up. xD
Yeah, and even though they would have been justified to kick his punk ass when he was robbing them, they didn’t. After the sleazebag killed their sister? All bets were off. To me that sounds like people who have at least SOME self-control.
But I have to wonder – if the victims were known to the killer, isn’t that kind of stupid for him to commit a burglary there? I mean – I am not all that well-versed in burglary tactics, but it seems to me that I would pick a house where I would not be recognized. Duuuuuh.

Response:
First, is always more to a story than everyone knows about, but if the little brother got hooked on drugs then he did that to himself. Unless there was a gun to the little brother’s head at all times and they were force feeding that dope down his throat, then he made a choice to do drugs. If he chose to engage in prostitution to get the drugs, then that was a choice he made also, but if someone forced him to do this then why didn’t he go to the police? This crap about the little brother has nothing to do with the reason that this crime happened. This crime happened because Sean was a punk ass bitch who wanted to be greedy. Sean probably already had things like he was stealing, but figured he could take these and pawn them for dope money or whatever. He didn’t have to kill Ana Christina. Her death was very tragic because she was just starting her life and now a child will grow up without their mother. All because some punk ass motherfucker wanted to be a greedy fuck. I can’t blame Ana Christina’s brothers for kicking the living shit out of the guy. I don’t think they intentionally killed the guy…I think they were in a pure rage after seeing their sister killed and they just went off. Sorry, but Sean doesn’t deserve any sympathy. He is the one that broke into their house, held them up at gunpoint, and then killed Ana Christina. Anytime you want to burglarize another person’s home, you are taking the chance that they could overpower you or kill you……so why not go out and get a job like normal people? Because greedy little douchebags like Sean don’t want to work. They want everything fast and easy. Instant mother-fucking gratification and who the hell cares about who might get hurt in the process. My thoughts are with Ana Christina and her family. RIP Ana Christina.
It was wrong for what happen to Ana Christina it should never had happen. And even though the stuff he was getting back was his family there is no excuse for what he did. However God is the only one that is suppose to judge and God is the only one who has the right to take a life no matter what.
Again, read your bible, and get back on this.
Judges, you are severely misinformed. I don’t know how you came to that conclusion, whether you were taught it, or just extrapolated the meaning yourself, but you are wrong. The bible does not tell man to not judge others. It does warn us to be CAREFUL about judging others, but that is totally different.
As Jason mentioned, why don’t you go actually read your bible, and not just assume that you have a clue what you are talking about. You can’t simply extract a few words and toss them around. You have to read the stuff before and after those words to understand why something was said, or you risk sounding as ignorant as you do here.
Mazzi and Jason:
1) There is clearly a difference between reading and UNDERSTANDING. For example, my daughter once read the book
“Otherwise Known As Sheila the Great” which was a grade or two above her, and wrote me a summary referring to Sheila as a BOY. She read the words, but they didn’t sink in.
2) I think that a very many people listen to the preacher/pastor/priest, and don’t bother to formulate their own opinions or beliefs because they are already being spoonfed some all served up nicely without any thought of their own. Which means they can regurgitate them up when the words outwardly seem to apply to the situation.
Judges there is a clear example of having read or heard, but not having any understanding in the greater sense of the word. That being said, I don’t think it bothers him to sound ignorant. Ten dollars says that the implication that he is an ignorant retard just sails past his head while he sits at his computer, happily oblivious to his fucktardishness.
Also, I have to say that if some dickhead is in my house threatening the lives of my family I’m happy to take over God’s job for a minute there and blow them a new asshole somewhere nice and center mass.
Oh that’s smart…you have an XBOX that I want so I’ll rob you and kill your sister. My friend has a big screen high definition TV, but I’m not going to kill him over it because a TV is not a necessity. Even if he were in need of a necessity, like food or water, robbing and killing isn’t the way to go.
And why these people? Were they just a random choice or was there some connection between the folks? I’ve read above that the Gonzalez supposedly got Sean’s brother into drugs and prostitution, but I’m taking that with a grain of salt (how do we prove that to be true?). And even if it is true, how does killing someone make the situation better?
i have to agree, an xbox is no reason for murder. sounds like he deserved what he got, and it sucked to be him. you dont rob people. if someone had gotten him hooked on drugs and prostitution, dont you think he would have tried shooting the ones he didnt like, or beating them up? i wont tell you what i want to do to the people who stole my van, but if they were to come up in my house and someone got hurt or killed, they would NOT walk out
Fuckin hell, man, this is the best article i’ve read so far.. RIP to Ana, but i’m glad her brothers didn’t just stand around and wait to be killed or wait for Nelson to leave with their ‘stuff’.. Good for them for beating the bitch to death. Good for them
I used to think I couldn’t kill … but now I know I would, if I was in this sort of situation. And yes, I would beat the paste out some clown who did what Nelson did. so, 100 percent to hell with you.
