"Houston criminal defense attorney Grant Scheiner, who’s not affiliated with the case, said that under state laws related to protection of property, Aguirre’s attorney will likely be able to make an argument that the use of deadly force was justified.

But the circumstances related to this case, including retrieving a weapon when there was no immediate danger and then continuing with one’s dinner after the alleged shooting, will not help Aguirre, Scheiner said."

GRA:The question is,did he get "lucky" with his date?It might be his last time for a while if he did.Further in the story,it was actually the date who called the cops on Aguirre,after reading about the incident in the paper.

So maybe not.

"Court records say he was on probation in South Texas near Corpus Christi for aggravated assault at the time of the shooting. Police said Crime Stoppers tips helped investigators identify him."

Does murder violate his parole terms? Asking for a friend.

"Taking Out the Trash"

Perhaps not easy to make a distinction here. But if forced to choose, I'll take the parking scammer over the felon already on probation for assault, who then commits murder.

That being said, the circumstances of the shooting are not entirely clear. Maybe there was a self-defense aspect to it. But per the article is seems pretty cold-blooded.

It is worth reading the whole story at the link.

His date:

"That's when Aguirre sprinted back to his Cadillac while the woman stayed on the other side of the street. She told police she didn't see what he was doing or hear anything."

Another witness:

"The witness said he saw Aguirre run out of Rodeo Goat and back to his Cadillac, where he retrieved a pistol. He said Aguirre ran out of his view, but he heard one gunshot, records say.

The witness then told police he saw Aguirre walk back to his car nonchalantly and put the gun away before walking back to the restaurant and meeting back up with his date."

Like a true criminal mastermind, seems like the killer then realized it might be a good idea to get out of there (lol) -- the date again:

"Court records say the woman told police Aguirre started to look uncomfortable after they went back into Rodeo Goat and suggested they eat somewhere else. That's when they left and went to another location to eat.

The woman reportedly provided photos of the suspect from that evening, and his clothing matched the surveillance photos from the restaurant.

After talking to police, the woman seen in the surveillance photos was released and no charges were filed."

All in all a very America 2.0 story.
