Oh well Big Grin

Wait, give me a minute to compose myself. It's so sad that this serial scammer got capped and has left this existence. Thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, et cetera and so forth. You will be missed, probably, I guess, by uhh somebody. Sure, yeah. Maybe your mom, or somebody you owed money.

OK, there. I'm better now. Big Grin

BANG!

Investigators said that on April 11, Aguirre and his date met for dinner in downtown Houston. After they parked their cars near the restaurant, Nix approached the couple claiming to be a parking attendant. He said it would cost $20 to park each vehicle, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Aguirre paid the $40. But a waiter at the restaurant later informed the couple that Nix was scamming people for parking, police said.

A witness later told police he saw Aguirre return to his car, grab a pistol and chase after Nix. The witness said both men went out of his view, but he heard a gunshot ring out before 8 p.m. He claims he saw Aguirre "nonchalantly walking back to his car with the gun in his hand" before storing it in the vehicle and returning to his date at the restaurant, according to the affidavit.

Aguirre then told his date he was uncomfortable with the restaurant and the couple left, according to the woman's attorney.

"She knows that he was upset, and he went after the person that allegedly scammed them, but they went to have dinner, and at some point, the defendant said he was uncomfortable with the restaurant and they left," DeToto told KPRC.

Houston Police officers responded to a call about the shooting and found Nix unresponsive with a gunshot wound. Paramedics transported him to a local hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead, police said.
Oh, terrible. That's just, uhh, terrible. Big Grin

Oh, gee, what's this? From March of 2020.

Man accused of posing as parking lot attendant, charging higher fees in downtown Houston

Well, the courts failed, but a pistol bullet rectified the matter permanently.

That's gonna be an expensive date...

Erick Aguirre faces murder charges in the April 11 death of 46-year-old Elliot Nix. Aguirre appeared in court on Thursday, and a judge set his bond at $200,000. His attorney, Brent Mayr, declined to comment.

Aguirre, 29, allegedly told his date that "everything was fine" and that he just scared the man after returning to the Rodeo Goat restaurant from the parking lot in the East Downtown neighborhood, known as EaDo. They then started walking to a table but left to eat someplace else after Aguirre looked uncomfortable, according to court records.

Aguirre’s date contacted police two days later after police had released photos of the couple, who had been identified by tips to Crime Stoppers.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

What was kind of funny about the story is that after shooting the scammer, the guy put the gun back into this car, goes into the restaurant and resumes his date. Reminded me of the Godfather scene in Clemenza's basement - Clemenza- "Allright, now you shot them both, now what do you do?" Michael- "Sit down and finish my dinner".

A bright one- the shooter. Forty bucks for parking? And he laid it out.

Also, the restaurant is partly to blame for the thief's death. They knew he was out there and they didn't call the police. The shooter's lawyer should make the best of that in their client's defense- an unsafe environment for the restaurant's patrons.

Those mugshots don't look like they were taken over a period of years, it looks like they were all taken with in the span of time it took him to grow a goatee. Unreal.

I'm glad he's dead. If that sounds cold, I don't care.

Deader appears to have been a frequent guest at the Gray Bar Hotel. If not this guy then someone would have capped him sooner or later.

Expect to see more of this in the democratic run paradises of major cities.

Maybe he was trying to break the record of the 11 year old in Memphis who was arrested nine times in just over two months for charges including carjacking, theft, burglary, and armed robbery.

That gal has one heck of a "dating nightmare" story to tell for the rest of her life.

"..... I swear, he want outside, hunted down and killed some guy, and came back and continued the date as if nothing happened...."
