Newly released court documents reveal that Jeremy Rapolla told investigators he tried to kill his family after being kicked out of the house by his mother's boyfriend.

The documents, released Wednesday, detail the July 27th incident on Donna Avenue, where Rapolla stabbed his mother and two younger brothers after he says his mother's boyfriend told him to leave the home.

Rapolla told investigators, "Just take me to the county (jail), you all know what I did...Well I tried to kill my family, I already told the dispatchers what happened."

The documents show that Rapolla called 911 and told dispatchers that he had "killed a family member, stabbed his family and cut himself accidentally". He told dispatch that it was over "credit cards" and he wanted to be arrested.

Documents show that Rapolla's mother was stabbed multiple times and the two siblings were stabbed in the head.

Rapolla told investigators that he did not believe his mother was really his mother, but someone who was wearing makeup to look like her.

The document says the mother's boyfriend told investigators that Rapolla is a drug user who suffers from schizophrenia.
