Wait, What!?

Jose Israel Teran Jr., 21, was taken into custody in connection with a road rage incident in San Antonio, KSAT-TV reports.

In that confrontation, Teran allegedly shot a man in a semitruck while driving north on I-35. But it was Teran's earlier criminal activity that really had law enforcement's attention.

He was accidentally added to a family group text string that day, in which members were discussing a 9-month-old baby's upcoming baptism.

Teran replied to the text, "That's a nice Caucasian baby how much you want?"

He went on to ask, "Are you not interested in selling? I'm willing to start the bid at 500k."

The baby's father called Teran, who explained that he purchases babies for their organs and could pay in cash or bitcoin.

Teran told police he thought the group thread was spam, but he was charged with the purchase and sale of human organs.
