Man Kills Alleged Scammer On Date, Returns To Finish Dinner

  • Erick Aguirre appeared in court on murder charges for fatally shooting a man posing as a parking attendant in Houston.
  • Aguirre and his date had paid $40 to park near a restaurant, but later learned they were scammed.
  • Aguirre allegedly retrieved a pistol and shot the man before returning to the restaurant for dinner.
  • Aguirre's date contacted police two days later, leading to his arrest.
  • Aguirre's attorney may argue that the use of deadly force was justified under state laws related to protection of property, but the circumstances of the case may not help his defense.
