Texas man kills fake parking attendant during date over $40 scam

A Texas man has been charged with murder for allegedly shooting and killing a man who scammed him out of $40 by posing as a parking attendant. The accused, Erick Aguirre, reportedly retrieved a pistol and went after the victim, Elliot Nix, after realizing he had been scammed. Aguirre's date claimed she did not see or hear what he had done and was only told that "he had just scared the guy and everything was fine." 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.
