Two Migrants Shot, One Fatally, Along Roadway in Rural Texas

[DBoon]

HOUSTON — Two unauthorized migrants were shot, one of them fatally, by two men in a pickup truck that approached them as they walked along a roadway in West Texas, according to court documents filed on Thursday.

After the shooting, which took place on Tuesday evening, the truck was found parked at a home in Hudspeth County, a rural area east of El Paso that runs from the border with Mexico to the state line of New Mexico.

Two men were arrested in connection with the shooting, law enforcement officials said: Michael Sheppard, the warden at a local privately run detention center, and his twin brother, Mark Sheppard.

Both men were charged with manslaughter, according to affidavits filed by investigators in the case. Neither could be immediately reached for comment.

1. Huh...manslaughter...

shoot and kill a (brown) man on the side of the road and get a manslaughter charge.

And I bet the warden gets some time off with pay while this is being investigated. That’ll show ‘im.

7. HUH??? "...the warden at a local privately run detention center..."

WTF is a "local, privately-run detention center"?

Can someone explain what the hell that is, and how it is--or isn't--accountable?

Sounds like a little house of horrors to me...

8. Okay...it's an ICE facility in Sierra Blanca

Still--a house of horrors, no doubt.

Manslaughter????

10. Does it seem like a lot of these hate crimes are done by siblings or parent and their kids

The Capitol rioters seemed to be a lot of these types also.
