HOUSTON -- A Texas man on a date who paid $40 to park, only to learn inside a Houston burger joint that he was scammed, allegedly went back and fatally shot the man posing as an attendant and then returned for dinner, according to court records.

Erick Aguirre appeared in court Thursday on murder charges in the April 11 death of 46-year-old Elliot Nix. His bond was set at $200,000. His attorney, Brent Mayr, declined to comment.

Aguirre, 29, allegedly told his date “everything was fine” and that he just scared the man after returning to the Rodeo Goat restaurant from the parking lot. 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.

He wasn't going to let a little thing like murder spoil his date.

3. I'm guessing that would be a "no".

It says the woman he went to dinner with is the one who called police when she read about it.

4. Good thing Erick had a gun

Otherwise, this little imbroglio might have been resolved with a bloody nose or a cut lip or maybe just some harsh words. Now we have a corpse, a killer, and two families that will never be the same.
