This morning it took only a few minutes to knock down those memories when crews began demolishing the Rubio House in Brownsville.
A small ceremony was held to remember the three children killed by John Allen Rubio in March 2003.
Rubio was convicted of capital murder for the slayings of his common-law wife Angela Camacho’s three children — Julissa Quesada, 3; John Esteban Rubio, 14 months; and Mary Jane Rubio, 2 months. Rubio is the biological father of one of the children.
City of Brownsville crews brought in heavy machinery today to knock down the building at the corner of East Tyler and 8th Street.
