Man Kills Parking Attendant During Date Over $40 Scam

A man in Houston left his dinner date to murder someone he believed had scammed him of $40 in a restaurant parking lot. Erick Aguirre, 29, allegedly returned to the parking lot to fatally shoot 46-year-old Elliot Nix, who had been posing as a parking attendant. Aguirre then returned for dinner and told his date that "everything was fine" and that he had just scared the scammer. He was arrested after his date contacted police two days after the incident. Aguirre appeared in court on Thursday on murder charges and could face life imprisonment if convicted.
