Texas man accused of leaving date, killing parking lot scammer, then returning to date

A Texas man who learned he had been scammed out of $40 by a fake parking attendant left his date inside a Houston restaurant, retrieved a gun from his car and allegedly fatally shot the man before returning for dinner, according to court records.
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.

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.

EaDo? Awful. Make it stop.
Do you think they built around a house like Kenny's like SoDoSoPa did in South Park

A pos scammed a psychopath.
If you can walk from a date, murder someone, then go back to the date cool and collected, you’re a psychopath.
Good riddance to both.

I wouldn't kill the man by any means. But I fricking hate parking lot scammers. They are all over Atlanta.

Not guilty.
He was just trying to recover his stolen money when the thief attacked him.

"how did your date go"
"well he murdered that guy that runs the parking scams by minute maid"
"nice when you are seeing him again"

Would be a great defense but one witness said he was the instigator chasing the dead dude
